Apparently, a year on from release, CD Projekt's The Witcher has now sold in excess of one-million copies. The slow-burning has been gradually building something of a cult following since release, it would seem.

"The Witcher, the epic RPG that puts players in the morally lenient boots of the aforementioned anti-hero, has sold more than a million copies to real, live people since its release twelve months ago," read a statement from the publisher.

"Scientific research has proven that those numbers are quite good for a debut game based on a relatively unfamiliar IP from an unknown studio on a ‘dead’ platform."

The firm also hint that the game could head to consoles in the future.

"There are a lot more places to explore in the world of The Witcher and there’s obviously a huge audience out there that would still love to see the game on consoles," added co-founder Michal Kicinski.

"We’re developers first and foremost, but you never know!"
