Witcher 3 Delayed... Again

That's right, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been pushed back again. This time another 12 weeks until May 19, 2015.  An open letter from CD Projekt Red explains that there are still bugs that need fixing.

Ever since we started working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we knew it would be an ambitious game," it begins. "We wanted, and still aim, to give you an incredible experience, an epic adventure in a vast, completely open fantasy universe. The sheer size and complexity of The Witcher, key features of the title, have had a decisive impact on production. Now, nearing the end of our work, we see many details that need to be corrected. When we release the most important game in our studio’s history, we must be absolutely sure that we did everything we could to limit any bugs to a level that will allow you to enjoy the game thoroughly.
"With this in mind, we took another look at current workloads and what they mean for the team. Even though everyone is working at full speed, we concluded that we need another 12 weeks, so we are shifting the release date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to May 19th, 2015.
"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."
With all the titles that have been released this year that in some cases were almost unplayable it's good to see a title where they at least seem to be interested in the games launch quality. I'm all for pushing a game back as much as it's needed to for a good launch, as long as we do get that good launch in the end. I guess all we can do is sit, wait and see what comes from all the waiting.
