Don't think that The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, which was supposed to be the console version of the PC RPG The Witcher, has been canned. Yes, production has halted, but it's more a case of being put aside than total cancellation. Console gamers will still get a chance to play through the Witcher world in the sequel, though.

Some of yesterday's speculation about the fate of The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) has crossed over into the realm of fact. Developer Widescreen Games has confirmed that development for the console versions of The Witcher have indeed been put on hold.

Talk of cancellation has sprung up around CD Projekt's The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). While there has been no definite confirmation from the game's developers, Polish site Polygamia is reporting that sources indicate the game has quietly been shelved.

It's confirmed. The silver-haired monster hunting amnesiac is back and this time in console form. The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf will be coming out in the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 sometime in autumn, 2009. This latest project by Atari and CD Projekt RED was unveiled during the ATARI LIVE showcase event in London earlier today (December 2).

About a year ago, we first heard rumblings that CDProjekt's PC RPG, The Witcher, would be making a trip down to Xbox 360 alley. Now we finally have confirmation that the game will indeed be heading to consoles. Not just to the Xbox 360 but to the PS3 as well. Details and an announcement video in the full article.
