The investor relations Twitter handle for CD Projekt Red has released some numbers regarding the Witcher franchise. According to an image Tweeted by the handle, the Wither series has sold over 50 million copies, with around 30 million of those being for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. These numbers are far from surprising, given the popularity the series gained with the launch of The Witcher 3. Besides the mainline trilogy, the franchise also features Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and the upcoming mobile game, The Witcher: Monster Slayer....

About a week ago, a report suggested that The Witcher’s protagonist Geralt of Rivia would guest star as a character in Bandai Namco’s forthcoming title SoulCalibur 6 when it eventually launches later this year. Now, it looks as if the official Twitter account for CD Projekt Red’s action-RPG series is even teasing as much, with the language used in a recent tweet suggesting that a reveal is coming that could confirm the rumor of Geralt being a part of the aforementioned fighting game....

2012’s The Woman in Black, based on the classic novel by Susan Hill and starring Daniel Radcliffe in one of his first post-Harry Potter roles, was a surprise success when it came out. It played as a solid, old-fashioned supernatural shocker from the resurrected Hammer Films, which was also behind Let Me In, the excellent English-language remake of Let the Right One In. With nearly every horror film viewed as a potential franchise starter these days, it seemed inevitable that the movie’s sturdy box office returns would trigger studio interest in making a sequel — even if Radcliffe’s character would not be returning (spoiler: he dies in the first film)....

Ubisoft has long been one of the premiere third-party publishers for console launches. The France-based video game publisher has cranked out titles for almost every noteworthy system launch in recent memory, and that’s why it’s not even remotely surprising to hear that Ubisoft plans on providing plenty of content for Nintendo’s Wii U. What may be surprising to some is that Ubisoft doesn’t only plan on providing a solid amount of games for the Wii U, but they intend on being the “number one third-party” on the system....

It’s an undeniable fact that the PC gaming hardware market is worth twice as much as that of consoles. As this report shows, PC gamers are spending over $21 billion on their rigs, from chipset upgrades to new keyboards, screens and controllers. By proxy that means there’s an incredulously large userbase on PC ready to throw money at any big blockbuster or small-scale indie title that takes their fancy. It’s why high profile figures such Doom designer John Romero have spoken about the need to support PC, why Microsoft is talking up (and consequently failing at) their position on PC gaming and why games like Ryse: Son of Rome are coming to PC from Xbox to pump up sales that Crytek ‘wasn’t 100% happy with....

2022 features quite a few notable video game anniversaries but few are bigger than the 35th anniversary of Final Fantasy. While many fans (ourselves included) will soon be finding ways to celebrate that landmark anniversary, popular clothing brand Uniqlo’s new t-shirts may be trying a bit too hard to celebrate Final Fantasy. For those who don’t know, Uniqlo is a clothing retailer/designer founded in Japan that regularly releases products designed to celebrate major video game franchises....

This Vikings review contains spoilers. Vikings Season 6 Episode 20 “I left when the sadness became too much.” There’s a certain sadness that accompanies the moment we must say goodbye to the beloved characters of a television series that captivates so much of our emotional capital and also demands we examine our own spirituality and moral principles. Vikings has reached the end of its run, and while some may find the conclusion somewhat dissatisfying, the acknowledgement that the past must be left behind resonates powerfully not only throughout the series finale, but the entire back half of the season as well....

Anyone connected to the retro shooter scene has likely heard of Viscerafest a time or two. Many YouTubers have covered the game and followers of indie developer Acid Man Games have had access to a beta demo for quite some time now. The game made headlines for its Cthulu-Esque heroine who devours the flesh of her fallen enemies while working as a mercenary to afford a wedding ring for her lover....

Black Friday is just a few weeks away, and Walmart’s Black Friday ad has been revealed online. While Walmart’s ad is online a little over two weeks before Black Friday, the store isn’t the first to reveal its deals, as Best Buy revealed its Black Friday ad last month. Courtesy of gaming deal master @Wario64, Walmart’s Black Friday ad was released earlier today. The deals will be online on Wednesday the 25th at 7pm Eastern time before the doors open at retail locations on the 27th at 12am (meaning midnight Thanksgiving night)....

Rumors are circulating that some US retailers have had their pre-order allocation of the new Warhammer 40,000 Indomitus limited. Could this point to a shortage of units on release day? Or has demand outstripped expectations? It’s important to note that we have had mixed reports from retailers on this, and without further corroboration, we have not yet been able to confirm this to be true, or to the extent that supply has been affected....

This Warrior review contains spoilers. Warrior Season 2 Episode 5 The episode opens with Li Yong (Joe Taslim) doing some shirtless Kung Fu but the scene is too short to determine what style he is doing. Perhaps it’s something just made up for Warrior. Taslim’s background is in in Judo, not Kung Fu, but that doesn’t matter. He looks great doing whatever he’s doing and it’s a promising opening for this episode....

Chalk this one up to bad timing, bad physics, and plain old bad luck. A Call of Duty: Warzone player was gracious enough to upload this complete fail of a play to Reddit — and we couldn’t be happier that they did. Their untimely death isn’t entirely their fault. In fact, it’s more so indicative of bad hit-detection on the part of Warzone than it is bad playmaking on their part....

If you’ve ever wanted to re-enact Geralt’s swordsmanship from The Witcher games - for cosplay or just for fun - then watch these Japanese sword experts break down the process in real life. It may look easy to a spectator, but these professionals broke a sweat. Katana experts and actors Taishi Tamaki and Toru Uchikado joined Gamology for a video to flaunt their skills. Both Japanese actors have trained in martial arts - pertaining to swords - for a number of years and provided an interesting dissection of some of Geralt’s best moves....

Cyberpunk 2077 may be the biggest game of the year, with hype levels unmatched by most. As exciting as it has been for the gaming community leading up to the release of the game, it was likely even more exhilarating for streamer Cohh Carnage, as he is actually an NPC character inside of Cyberpunk 2077. During a recent stream of CD Projekt Red’s massive RPG, Cohh Carnage came across a particularly interesting character named Garry the Prophet....

This week’s game trailer roundup features a pair of iOS titles that will be coming soon. Sometimes mobile games don’t get their due, which isn’t entirely fair. As seen with the success of Angry Birds (which is getting a new space-based expansion), simple games are capable of a great deal of fun and for such a low cost, who can say no? We also have several retail games that involve swords and explosions....

Every week, we take a moment to cover a few stories that didn’t make the front page on Game Rant. In this week’s Video Game Round-Up, we discuss news about a Dying Light sequel, an update on Techland’s Hellraid RPG game, a new expansion for Heroes of the Storm, and more. Below are the stories for this week’s Round-Up: Techland’s first-person zombie action game, Dying Light, continues to do well among gamers, with over 4....

Netflix shows like The Order have an advantage that series that release episodes a week apart don’t have. Potential audiences can give a new show a quick opening binge right away rather than only viewing the always tricky pilot to prove that it’s worthy of being added to their viewing schedule. The Order is definitely a supernatural show that stands alongside The Magicians or The Vampire Diaries, but the true twist to the witches versus werewolves premise doesn’t show up until third episode....
