The Witcher packshot - Image 1The action RPG title The Witcher has finally gone gold, putting it on track for its October 30 release in North America. This was announced earlier today by Atari, the game's North American publisher.

Developed by CD Projekt, The Witcher is a PC-exclusive title set in a world created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. Players will take the role of Geralt, a legendary monster slayer and master swordfighter with supernatural abilities and reflexes. Here's what CD Projekt Joint Michal CEO Kicinski had to say:

It's a piece of work that in many respects changes and extends the typical canon of such games. It's quite a brave approach, however I believe that thanks to that attitude The Witcher will bring much freshness into the genre and, of course, will give the players all around the world lots of joy and positive emotions.


Atari also has high hopes for The Witcher. Larry Liberty, Senior Producer at Atari, said that the company is "confident that The Witcher will prove to be one of the most acclaimed RPG titles this Fall."
