Witcher Series Sales Rise to Six Million

CD Projekt Red has announced new sales milestone for the Witcher series on their sixth anniversary.

Over six million Witcher games have been sold to date, this and much more was announced today by CD Projekt Red, on the franchise's sixth birthday, up from the 5 million sold in February.

The first Witcher game launched on October 26 2007, and since then the game has became a resort for hardcore RPG enthusiasts. The third game in the franchise, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014.

Studio head Adam Badowski spoke of the milestone, “CD Projekt RED was built on the idea that giving gamers more is always worth it.

“Since the very beginning of our journey we have seen that the approach of inviting gamers into a dialogue with the developer is really important and can shake up the – sometimes self-destructive – business side of games. We hope you’ll stay with us for the years to come and that we will continue to make these changes together.”

CD Projekt Red also released an infographic to mark the occasion, revealing various statistics about how the series has evolved during its lifetime.
