CD Projekt RED have announce they are continuing their partnership with Spike Chunsoft, who will now be publishing The Witcher 3 in Japan on both PS4 and Xbox One.
Press Release
CD Projekt RED, the creators of the story-driven,
open world fantasy RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, would like to
announce its publishing partnership with Spike Chunsoft. With its
established position in the Japanese market and its deep
understanding of the core values CD Projekt RED represents, Spike
Chunsoft will help The Witcher 3 reach Japanese gamers on
next-generation consoles.
Spike Chunsoft did an amazing job launching The
Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings for Xbox 360 in the Japanese market,
which is why we’re very excited to announce the continuation of our
partnership. We’re thrilled that they see the same potential we do
in the open world and novel-quality narrative we aim to deliver with
The Witcher 3 and are willing to partner with us to launch the game
on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, said Michał Nowakowski, Vice
President of Business Development and Member of the Board, CD Projekt
RED.
We're honored to have the opportunity to work with
CD Projekt RED on the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in Japan.
RPGs have always been a prominent part of the Japanese video game
landscape. Although more and more quality western RPGs are now
localized into Japanese, most gamers in Japan are still unaware of
them. I strongly believe that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will redefine
the western RPG for Japanese gamers, said Satoru Honma, International
Business Development Producer, Spike Chunsoft.
Spike Chunsoft will be responsible for the
promotion and distribution of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PlayStation
4 and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from
Microsoft in Japan.
