Developed by Breakpoint, Hands-On celebrated one of their biggest mobile game releases of this year, The Witcher: Crimson Trail.
The mobile game originated from the PC game where it is a widely popular RPG, or Role Playing Game that was published by Atari and developed by CD Projekt. Hands-On has licensed the mobile game for publishing in Western Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific area.
The Witcher is based on the book series of the same name by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. First published in 1986, The Witcher has sold 3 million copies worldwide and has established a huge, loyal fan base. The PC version of the game is the biggest production in the history of the Polish game industry and is due to launch in October this year.
“The Witcher is a highly anticipated PC game launch and we are very excited to be delivering the mobile version to a global audience,” said Eric Hobson, President and General Manager EMEA, Hands-On Mobile. “The Witcher has an amazing history and a pedigree in the RPG genre which will mean that we will be delivering a premium product to an enthusiastic fan base.”
Ludwik Zoltowski, Director of Business Development at Breakpoint said: “Just like the forthcoming PC version, the mobile game has been created for the passionate and dedicated fans of the books that the games are based upon. This has led to us to create a game that brings the look and feel of The Witcher onto mobile phones, for both dedicated fans and new players alike.”
