CDPR has said that refraining from a fourth game ‘ would not be fair’.2015 is a thing of the past now, but with an incredibly diverse year of games on offer, the annual Gaming Awards from the SXSW Festival have revealed their nominations for 2016, with many of the year’s biggest games leading in award nominations like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Undertale, and more. The Witcher 3 sold in excess of six million copies in the first week of its release.

The Wild Hunt missed out on only four of the GOTY awards it was nominated for. The RPG masterpiece has received awards for practically all of its aspects, including but not limited to: Best Audio, Best DLC, Best Developer, Best Gaming Moment, Best Graphics, Best PC Game, more than ten Best RPG awards, and of course the 251 GOTY awards.

The total number of awards granted to The Witcher 3 exceeds 800, as reported by the game’s Wikipedia page. The Witcher 3 was said to be thirty times larger than its predecessor and 20% bigger than Skyrim. The Witcher 3 brought a wealth of improvements over the previous outing, in terms of gameplay, storytelling and graphics.ĬD Projekt RED’s RPG featured multiple large-scale, open world environments, from the frozen islands of Skellige, war- and poverty-striken rural landscapes of Velen and the rich and fertile countryside surrounding the city of Novigrad. Released almost a year ago, on for PS4, Xbox One and PC, The Witcher 3 concludes the three-part gaming epic, based on the fantasy novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

The most recent award that tipped The Witcher 3 past the quarter of a thousand mark was the recent Game Developer’s Conference, in which the RPG was awarded with Best Technology and GOTY. The 2015’s runaway RPG smash hit has earned a grand total of 251 GOTY accolades from a wide variety of international award ceremonies and media outlets, including the Golden Joysticks, Buzzfeed, Time, Vice and GamesMaster magazine. CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt has been declared-in terms of Game Of The Year Awards-the greatest game of all time, as it was won more of such titles than any other game in history.
