The Witcher 3: 10 Things You Didn't Know
1. Over 1,500 People Worked To Make It
After the successes of The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, the game’s developer CD Projekt Red understandably wanted to put their all into the third game.
As a result, an incredible team of over 1,500 people worked hard to make The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt into the masterpiece we know and love today. After the struggles CD Projekt Red endured in trying to make the Witcher series a reality — suffering many rejections and cancellations on their journey to production — such a large team working to bring their creation into the world must have been a welcome change.
Undoubtedly, the hard work of this many people resulted in the game's success. With such a vast team, it’s understandable that so many real-world references worked their way into The Witcher 3! Their efforts didn't go unnoticed, and in the Blood and Wine expansion, a secret Easter egg resides inside the game, showing a portrait of the CD Projekt Red team who made the game a reality.
