A lot of publishers release Game of the Year editions of titles that aren't particularly worthy of the tag, but the recently confirmed GOTY edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of those that certainly fits the bill.
We're not exactly sure when it'll be released, but following its first appearance on Twitter and subsequent confirmation on Eurogamer (who have a separate source that says it'll launch on August 26), we at least know that it's really happening. Here's the full statement issued by CDPR:
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was a gigantic effort for the entire studio, and both the team and me were amazed by the good reception of Geralt's adventures. Since launch, we've released two expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, which added a lot of new adventures to the already potent mix," game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz wrote.
"With all the free DLC and updates the game received so far, including significant changes to the game's interface and mechanics, many gamers have asked us if we're working on some sort of a Game of the Year Edition. I'm happy to confirm - yes, plans are in motion to release such an edition. We'll release more details, including the release date, in the future. In the meantime, I'd like to thank every fan of the game for their support - you're really amazing!"
