CD Projekt has announced that the Witcher franchise has surpassed 75 million copies sold all around the globe, which is a significant achievement for the long-running video game series. It was not until the release of The Witcher 3 that the franchise was catapulted to the level of amazing popularity that it now enjoys. The previous two games in the series were not very well recognized among owners of consoles. CD Projekt has revealed that sales of The Witcher 3 have now topped 50 million copies globally.
Because to this feat, The Witcher 3 has surpassed several other well-known games, including a number of entries in the Pokémon and Nintendo franchises, as well as a significant portion of the Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto series (with the exception of GTA V). In spite of the fact that it hasn’t sold quite as many copies as Red Dead Redemption 2, it has firmly established itself as one of the best-selling video games. It is noteworthy that it has accomplished this goal despite the fact that there has not been a new mainline entry released since 2015. The remaining sales have come from spin-offs and mobile games.
The popularity of The Witcher 3 caused CD Projekt to reevaluate their previous objectives and strategies. In the past, they have given hints that there may be a lengthy delay, or even that there might not be any further core entries in the series. Despite this, the corporation decided to alter directions after the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077 and gave the go-ahead for many new Witcher projects. There will also be a reimagining of the game’s very first iteration, as well as a possible spin-off (the fate of which is still unknown), and a complete trilogy of brand new core titles.
Even though there have been no hints or announcements about these next games, it is widely believed that they will be just as successful as the franchise’s earlier entries. It’s a fair bet that fans will welcome these new endeavors with excitement given how well received the previous entries in The Witcher series have been so far in terms of sales.
The downloadable content expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 known as Phantom Liberty will be CD Projekt Red’s next game to be made available to the public before the release of the new Witcher video games. Fans may anticipate its release later on in this year, which will provide further material and experiences set in the Cyberpunk world.
