CD Projekt RED has announced some seriously impressive sales figures for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The game has sold 4 million copies in just two weeks, and it’s a feat well-deserved. With a Metacritic score of 93 and critical acclaim across the board, The Witcher 3 is being hailed as one of the greatest role-playing games ever released. To mark the occasion, CD Projekt RED wrote an open letter to their fans, thanking them for their support.

“May 19th was a crucial date for all of us here at CD PROJEKT RED — we released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, our open world role-playing game that we had been hard at work on for over 3 years,” wrote Marcin Iwiński, CD Projekt RED’s co-founder. “Since day one, you have given us tons of positive feedback and support — the sheer volume of emails we’ve gotten since launch simply congratulating us for our efforts is both epic and heartwarming, and I wish every developer comes to have such a fantastic community.”

Iwiński said that the team feels humbled by the fantastic scores the game as achieved across review sites, calling it their “dream coming true.” CD Projekt RED has put a lot of effort into making their fans feel valued. Patches have been released week on week, free DLC packs have been heaped onto the game, and the developer’s forums have been open since the game’s release to the feedback of the community. They also included a very nice letter in all physical copies of The Witcher 3, thanking people for buying the game. In short, CD Projekt RED is the very model of how gamers wish developers would behave.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the four million gamers worldwide who bought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the first two weeks from launch,” Iwiński said. “Four million RPG fans spending their hard-earned money on our game is a sign that we did something right, and you can be sure that we’ll harness all that positive energy and make the upcoming expansions worthy of the grand adventure that you’re telling us Wild Hunt already is!”

In response to the letter, Witcher 3 fans seem to have only one thing to say: keep up the good work!

Want Diablo 4 immortality? Hardcore Level 100 Before Most Others

The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.

Honoring the dying.

Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?

Bloober Team’s survival horror game Layers of Fear is terrifying. The Trophy List on Exophase just appeared, and players will have to go crazy to obtain Platinum.

With a Silver Trophy like “a new way” requiring players to “live through the third conversation” (and a few of Bronzes for surviving the previous two) and another called “face your fears” appearing when you “see your enemy and fail”, we might chase this one with the lights on.

Do you like Layers of Fear’s whole trophy list? Do you want the Plat?

The PlayStation Showcase, which divided fans and prompted our full-throated Reaction, was a ratings winner. Gamesight’s number crunchers found that PlayStation fans were drawn in by the appeal alone, even though many of the titles we wanted to see didn’t show up.

It’s possible certain Showcase games were withheld. Summer Game Fest may bring something? Watched the big spectacle live?
