The wait is almost over - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has gone gold

CD Projekt RED has announced the news we've all been waiting to hear: The Witcher 3 has gone gold.

This means Geralt's latest, and possibly last, adventure has been sent to the factory to be pressed into lovely gaming discs.

“We worked so damn hard over the past three years to bring you this game,” said studio head Adam Badowski in a prepared statement. “From the corrupt nobles in Novigrad to ancient monsters lurking in deep forests, to the bustling cities, colorful ports and breathtaking vistas; all the people, all the places.

"We literally spent tens of thousands of hours to turn all that into an adventure that will kick your ass and make you want to come for more. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has gone gold and will soon be yours.”

That is great news indeed, however, even better news would be that we had time traveled to May 19 and the game was in our hands already.

Going gold will have to do for now, though.

The Witcher 3 will release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
