Current Events > TIL: There was a Witcher video game in development in the 90s

(+) Yeah! (+)

Using 3D models on pre-rendered backdrops like Resident Evil.

Dudes who were making it paid a mere $9,000 for the video game rights to the Witcher (Which at the the time wasn't even translated into English) and were the ones who coined the title "Witcher"

But the studio ran out of money and it was never released.

And the dude who was making it?
The video game dev company he founded?
Ended up being bought by CD Projekt Red
