The Witcher 3 Delayed Again Until May

The Witcher 3 has been enamoring audiences and press for quite a while now. The game won numerous awards at the past two E3s and just this weekend received the fan voted 'Most Anticipated Game' at the Game Awards.

As you can see, people are pretty excited about Garret's return.

It was initially delayed from late 2014 to February earlier this year, but fans are going to have to wait longer still. In an open letter on CD Projekt Red's website, the developer announced that The Witcher 3 had been delayed again to May 19, 2015.

The developer cited the size and complexity of the project as the reason for the delay, adding that they wanted to avoid any bugs that might get in the way of the player's enjoyment.

The letter add:

"We owe you an apology. We set the release date too hastily. It's a hard lesson, one to take to heart for the future. We know what we want to do to make Wild Hunt one of the best RPGs you will ever play. And we continue to work hard to achieve just that. So, we apologize and ask for your trust."

Here's hoping that this is the final delay. I always encourage developers to be brave and delay a game. As we've seen in the past few months, problems can plague them at launch if you don't. But honestly, I've been talking about this game for nearly three years now. It's time to get it into people's hands.
