We could already guess that The Witcher series has an important place in the game world. But now, thanks to new data released by The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR), we have a better idea of just how big it really is.
With its announcement, the studio announced that The Witcher video games have sold more than 75 million copies, and more than 50 million of these sales belong to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt alone.
These numbers mean that the series is one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. For comparison, this new data places The Witcher 3 very close to popular titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Red Dead Redemption 2, both of which have sold more than 53 million copies and are both among the best-selling games ever.
It can also be predicted that Witcher sales figures will probably increase a little more in the coming years. CDPR released a next-gen update for The Witcher 3 in December and is working on a number of other Witcher titles, including a remake of the first Witcher game, a new Witcher trilogy, and a spin-off codenamed “Project Sirius.”
Netflix has also renewed The Witcher for a fifth season
Netflix is also investing heavily in The Witcher series. The streaming giant has already confirmed the fifth season for the TV series The Witcher, although the third season of the series has not yet started airing. Season three will be Henry Cavill’s final season as Geralt, and Liam Hemsworth will take over the role from season four.
