As far as triple-A studios go in the video game industry, I think it’s fair to say that CD Projekt RED is one of the young guns. Founded only in 2002, the studio literally came out of nowhere to capture the imaginations of gamers worldwide with The Witcher, and it’s quickly become a studio that gamers can trust thanks to their evolution of The Witcher series.

It’s a studio that’s been growing rapidly too, not only with The Witcher franchise, but their own REDEngine (now REDEngine 3!), they like to believe has the perfect makeup to create movie quality scenes and more. Obviously perfect for the next generation of consoles.

We caught up with the studio’s PR and marketing guru, Michal Platkow-Gilewski, at GDC recently to talk about their direction for The Witcher 3 and to see what we had in store for us next year. Platkow-Gilewski talks about creating the huge game world, creating the perfect RPG, the next generation of consoles and much, much more.

Keep an eye out around E3 for our first impressions of the title.

  • i've never played the other two but i'm excited for this one.
  • Loved The Wircher 2 ! Cannot wait for this on the Ps4 !
  • wish you asked if there was a chance Witcher 2 would be on PS3.
  • @3 Both previous games were supposed to be released on PS3 after the PC and Xbox releases, but obviously they decided to make Witcher 3 instead.
  • I looking for this game :), get yput time Red CD Project, make a good rpg WE need it.
  • Why wont they release The Witcher 1 and 2 on PS3 before they release this on so we can get caught up. :)
  • @7 They'll probably pull a Mass Effect 2, and give us a digital comic with choices to make from the past two games, lol. The only thing that disappoints me about this game coming to next gen is their decision to lock it at 30FPS...
  • The perfect rpg would be a 90's style turn based rpg type thing games like FF6, chrono trigger, xenogears, wild arms or super mario rpg, also wouldn't be filled with sex.
  • @8 That's a matter of taste. Not everyone likes turnbased RPG's.
