In news that will have Witcher fans jumping for joy and polishing up their twin swords, CD Projekt RED have announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has finally gone gold, after a long development and some delays.

“We worked so damn hard over the past three years to bring you this game,” said Adam Badowski, Head of Studio, CD Projekt RED. “From the corrupt nobles in Novigrad to ancient monsters lurking in deep forests, to the bustling cities, colorful ports and breathtaking vistas; all the people, all the places — we literally spent tens of thousands of hours to turn all that into an adventure that will kick your ass and make you want to come for more,” adds Badowski. “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has gone gold and will soon be yours!” he concluded.

From all we have seen of the Witcher 3, the game looks absolutely stunning and given CD Projekt RED’s great track record of creating full formed and engrossing games, Wild Hunt should be the pinnacle of the Witcher series.
