CD Projekt RED has announced Namco Bandai Games Australia and New Zealand will distribute the third part of The Witcher Saga, known as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
“We’re really excited to continue to develop our relationship with NAMCO BANDAI Games and, as a result, introduce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to even more gamers across the globe.” said Adam Badowski, Head of Studio, CD Projekt RED.
“Thanks to our shared passion for games and our partner’s understanding of what core values constitute The Witcher series, I’m confident we can make the launch of The Witcher 3 something really special,”
“CD Projekt RED is a world class developer that cares passionately about its games and its fans. We are therefore delighted and proud to again be their chosen partner in Australia and New Zealand and we are very excited to add the eagerly awaited ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’ to our 2014 line-up.’ said Gerard Noonan, SVP, Namco Bandai Games Asia Pacific.
“The Witcher series is one of the industries most revered video game franchises and with the power of the new generation of consoles we expect CD Projekt RED will take the series to even greater heights”
The first installment of The Witcher series was released in 2007 for PC, featuring series protagonist Geralt. It was confirmed last year that this would be the last part of Geralt’s story, where CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kicinsk stated the installment will be a “great finale of the story”. Although Witcher 3 may spell the end for Geralt’s story, the franchise itself has been confirmed to continue on.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is scheduled to release in 2014 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One simultaneously.
