EDGE: "An open-world game is a huge undertaking for any studio, let alone a Polish independent with a track record in story-driven RPGs. But CD Projekt Red is no ordinary indie. Together with its sister companies – the Good Old Games download store and CDP.pl, a localiser and distributor of English-language games in Poland – the group is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The studio’s inauspicious offices, tucked away at the back of an industrial estate, hold 160 staff at present, but the team’s still hiring. Just 89 people work on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt directly, developing nearly everything in-house with proprietary tech. It’s by far the studio’s most ambitious project to date."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

During CD Projekt’s Fiscal Year 2023 earnings call, CEO Michael Nowakowski said that the company is keen on licensing its IP rights to third-party developers to create mobile adaptations of its titles.
CD Projekt, the developer behind The Witcher/Cyberpunk 2077, has stated that there is no place for microtransactions in single-player games.
MP games need micros to keep the lights on. Path of Exile is a good game with micros. It can be done as long is the game is not the scheme itself.
I agree, I never pay for microtransactions, and in the few cases where I have, I've felt dirty afterwards, especially when older games used to give you so much content for free (like cosmetics).
40-50 hour main story plus the open world. I understand this Is a PC game too..but the consoles are able to handle this with the first wave of games. Man these worlds are going to be absolutely huge later down the lifecycle of these machines.
I am so burned out on fantasy themed games I haven't played one since the PS2, but the unique style of this game has me very interested and I'm looking forward to playing it.
Kinda sucks this will be the first ps game for the witcher series. I wonder how they will catch up players who haven't played the other 2 games?
