Uitstel voor The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
In een open brief liet de makers van CD Red Project weten dat na het bekijken van de huidige evaluatie van The Witcher 3, ze besloten hebben dat The Witcher 3 een vertraging krijgt van 12 weken.
Liever dan een onafgewerkt product te leveren kiezen ze er liever voor om de perfectie te leveren.
De nieuwe releasedate zou dan niet plaats vinden in Februari, maar zou verplaats worden naar 19 Mei 2015.
Voor de fans is dit wel slecht nieuws, maar achteraf bekeken heeft iedereen toch liever graag een goed afgewerkte game, dan een product die nog bugs bevat, happeringen en oneffenheden toch ?
Dear Gamers,
Ever since we started working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we knew it would be an ambitious game. We wanted, and still aim, to give you an incredible experience, an epic adventure in a vast, completely open fantasy universe.
The sheer size and complexity of The Witcher, key features of the title, have had a decisive impact on production. Now, nearing the end of our work, we see many details that need to be corrected. When we release the most important game in our studio’s history, we must be absolutely sure that we did everything we could to limit any bugs to a level that will allow you to enjoy the game thoroughly.
With this in mind, we took another look at current workloads and what they mean for the team. Even though everyone is working at full speed, we concluded that we need another 12 weeks, so we are shifting the release date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to May 19th, 2015.
We owe you an apology. We set the release date too hastily. It’s a hard lesson, one to take to heart for the future. We know what we want to do to make Wild Hunt one of the best RPGs you will ever play. And we continue to work hard to achieve just that. So, we apologize and ask for your trust.
Thank you for the all support you show us on a daily basis. We truly do appreciate it. It has fueled us in our passion since the start and will continue to do so.
