'The Witcher' wows video game fans
(MENAFN- Arab News) WARSAW: Poland's new ambassador is a scar-faced hit man armed with two swords and potions against monsters and dragons. His name is Geralt hero of a Polish role-playing video game bewitching the world.
'The Witcher' is the brainchild of Warsaw-based CD Project Red one of a growing number of cutting-edge Polish IT firms out to dominate global gaming.
It sold four million copies of the game worldwide at 60 euros ($67) a piece in the couple of weeks after its May release. The earlier two instalments in the Witcher series have sold some eight million copies since hitting the market in 2007 and 2011.
'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games ever made' said website Gamespot of the game that is the top seller in most of the 109 countries where it was released.
'They created the largest open world in the history of video games and filled it with realistic dialogue and characters that are full of life' said leading Polish game developer Pawel Miechowski of the game's creators.
'Plus the graphics are staggering' the 32-year-old told AFP.
The series was even mentioned by US President Barack Obama during a visit to Warsaw last year after he received the second instalment as a symbolic gift to smash dated stereotypes of Poland as a dreary grey ex-Communist country of vodka and horse-drawn carts.
