Atari to bring The Witcher to North America

By Derek Boiko-Weyrauch Feb 5, 2007, 20:23 GMT

Atari announced today that they will market and distribute CD Projekt's upcoming fantasy role-playing game (RPG) throughout North America. The Witcher is scheduled for release on Games for Windows - the new brand optimized for Windows XP and Windows Vista - in North America in Fall 2007. The Polish action-RPG will hit North America in Fall 2007.

The Polish action-RPG will hit North America in Fall 2007."The Witcher is a tremendous game that has been on everyone's radar since CD Projekt began development," said Jeremiah Cohn, Product Manager, Atari, Inc. "With this publishing deal, Atari continues its quest to bring highly impressive titles to North America and we have our sights set on making The Witcher one of the most anticipated RPGs of the year."Based on the world created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher casts players as Geralt, a legendary monster slayer and master swordfighter with supernatural abilities and reflexes. The Witcher aims to put a news spin on traditional role-playing, blending an Byzantine plotline - in which the impact of individual decisions can drastically alter the outcome of the game - with fast-paced combat against a wide variety of foes with next-generation graphics and physics.

Speaking of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski did you know that the famous line 'The faith exhorts pantomime' is actually an anagram for 'Matrixism the path of the One'. If you Google the latter you will find this http://www.geocities.com/matrixism2069.
