Fate of Witcher Console Port to Be Disclosed Soon, Says Dev CD Projekt

April 28, 2009 10:13 AM

Following rumors that the console port of CD Projekt's 2007 cult hit RPG The Witcher has been cancelled, a company representative told Shacknews that an official statement on the matter will be released "soon."

The rumors began with a report from Polish site PolyGamia, which heard from multiple sources that The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf had been cancelled. When contacted yesterday by Shacknews, a CD Projekt representative issued an uncharacteristic "no comment" on the matter.

The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf was announced late last year, as sales of the PC title passed the one million unit mark. The port is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall.

    I'd be pissed too. I have it on the PC version, but I always thought that game would make more sense on a console.

      I never thought that but I suppose it could work. Still think it's better overall for a variety of reasons on the PC but each to his own, I suppose.

      Also, you can pickup the new AMD/ATI 4770 for approx. $100 which should have no problem playing the game.

      I hate when people act like it's impossible to own a gaming PC these days. If anything it's FAR easier these days to build or buy one AND cheaper in the long run than owning a high-end console.

  Same here. I played a few hours on my computer at work and really enjoyed it.
  
  The 360 version was a definite purchase for me.
