With this announcement, fans can finally rest assured that CD Project Red’s promise to make this game the best RPG ever may come to fruition.
"The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious," said CD Projekt RED. "We could have released the game towards the end of this year as we had initially planned. Yet we concluded that a few additional months will let us achieve the quality that will satisfy us, the quality gamers expect from us."
"Consequently, we have set the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for February 2015."
CD Projekt goes on to apologize for the delay, but said the extra time will "prove to be worth the wait and meet the expectations you have of us."
"We believe The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be an exceptional RPG, one of the best, providing many hours of wonderful entertainment.
The probable reason for the delay is that they wanted the "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" the best it could be.
"We have wanted The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to expand creative boundaries, set new benchmarks, develop the genre as a whole. Ultimately, you, the players, must get an unforgettable adventure to experience in a vast, open world - and that's most important. We've created a story that flows naturally, cinematically, rendered it in amazing sound and visuals, while preserving full freedom of choice - all for you."
