The Witcher Among 100 Best Selling PC Games Ever, Claims Developer
by Chris Faylor, Mar 06, 2009 9:00am PSTHaving sold over 1.2 million copies since its October 2007 debut, The Witcher is now among the 100 best-selling PC games of all time, claims developer CD Projekt RED.
"Because of those numbers, The Witcher has jumped onto the list of the 100 bestselling PC games in history," CD Projekt RED marketing coordinator Karol Zajaczkowski wrote in a forum post announcing the 1.2 million unit milestone.
The 1.2 million figure includes both retail and digital distribution sales, a CD Projekt representative confirmed with Shacknews.
Based off the works of Andrzej Sapkowski, the morally ambiguous fantasy role-playing game saw an enhanced re-release arrive last year with new content. A rebuilt console version, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, will hit PS3 and Xbox 360 this fall.

Yes it is more than one book! A new book has been released and the author actually uses characters and story/places made up in the pc game! So it’s like a continuation of the witcher adventure only in book form! It spins on the political turmoil with the scoiatael and other things in the game
The new book is called: blood of elves
and the old book is called: the last wish (a amazingly well written collection of 4 small stories (and is a must read of fans of the witcher))
And please tell me about your perspective on the story and the books by Andrzej Sapkowski. And what you hope comes next?
