'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary, Surpasses 60 Million Sales
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has hit an incredible milestone 10 years after its launch, with CD Projekt announcing that the beloved role-playing game (RPG) has surpassed 60 million copies sold worldwide.
'Without a doubt, the third part of Geralt's adventures marks a pivotal point in our history. The game earned hundreds of awards and solidified our studio's standing, but more importantly, it brought untold hours of adventures and emotions to millions of gamers the world over.' said joint CEO of CD Projekt Adam Badowski in a statement, 'I am proud to announce that since its release The Witcher 3 has sold over 60 million copies, securing a place among the bestselling video games in all history, and motivating us to carry on with intensive work on the next trilogy set in this universe.'
It is to be noted that the latest 60 million figure only includes sales of the base game and its GOTY or complete editions, and does not factor in individual sales for its two expansion packs, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine . With this new milestone, The Witcher 3 is one step closer to overtaking Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , which reached the same 60 million sales mark in June 2023.
Last year, the developer announced a Witcher 3 concert tour spanning multiple countries to celebrate the anniversary, with tickets now available on its official website for performances across North America and Europe, leading up to November this year, with more locations and dates to be announced closer to 2026.
As The Witcher 3 celebrates its incredible success, CD Projekt is already looking towards the future, with its upcoming sequel, The Witcher 4 , currently in full production with an estimated release window of 2027, leading to the possibility that it might be released for next-generation consoles.

'Duke Nukem' Adaptation Set By 'Devil May Cry' & ‘Castlevania' Showrunner Adi Shanker
Legendary gaming icon Duke Nukem is back, just not in a way most are expecting, as Adi Shankar, showrunner of Netflix's Devil May Cry and Castlevania animated series, has acquired the screen rights to the classic shooter franchise for his next game-to-screen adaptation. Speaking to Esqurie, Shankar spoke on his future plans, which, apart from season two of Devil May Cry , included a Duke Nukem show. 'I'm being approached with different IPs and companies that want to work with me,' he explained, 'I bought the rights to Duke Nukem. Not the gaming rights, but I bought it from Gearbox.' Duke Nukem 3D (1996) Even though the project is still in its infancy, Shankar already has plans for his take on the iconic '90s video game franchise. 'It's a middle finger to everybody,' he described when asked about his vision for the show, 'When Duke Nukem blew up, a bunch of people sat around trying to turn it into a brand, when it's just a middle finger. Duke Nukem can't be made by a corporation, because the moment a corporation makes Duke Nukem , it's no longer Duke Nukem . I don't intend on having anyone tell me what to do on this one.' From his comments alone, it seems like his adaptation will be as unapologetic and no-holds-barred as its gaming source material, which was made famous by its tongue-in-cheek nature, violence and self-aware immaturity. Duke Nukem Forever (2011) Duke Nukem entered the video game scene in 1991 as a series of 2D platformers created by Apogee Software Ltd. (now 3D Realms). The franchise would rise to fame in 1996 with Duke Nukem 3D , which transformed it into the FPS icon many know today. The series would go on to receive numerous sequels and spin-offs over 15 years, culminating in 2011's infamous Duke Nukem Forever , which was heavily criticised by critics and fans alike, effectively killing the series… until now, that is. Still, it's unclear what form the project will eventually take, be it an animated series like his previous works, a live-action TV show, or a movie. It's also unknown how his acquisition of the franchise's screen rights will affect Legendary Entertainment's Duke Nukem movie by Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg.

‘Stellar Blade' On PC Is The Definitive Way To Experience Eve's Journey
Fan service is a beautiful thing. The mere notion of giving an audience exactly what they want is simple, yet wholly effective in drawing attention to a game, regardless of its quality. And while most titles of this nature offer nothing more than a visual treat, with no substantial accompanying gameplay systems to back it up, Shift Up's 2024 hack-and-slash jaunt Stellar Blade goes above and beyond. Alongside glorious fan service in the form of gorgeous character designs and eye-popping cosmetics to collect, its slick visuals are held together by a solid gameplay and combat foundation, becoming a testament to what a game can achieve when a studio understands its target audience. Since its release in April 2024, the game has seen constant post-launch support, not only fixing many of the gameplay issues listed in our review, but also a multitude of bonus free and paid content like a New Game+ mode, additional costumes, seasonal events, and crossovers with other IPs like PlatinumGames' 2017 action hit Nier Automata . Now that Stellar Blade is available on PC, those who were unable to play it on the first day of release due to PlayStation 5 launch exclusivity can finally hop on the hype train, joining a whole new player base in experiencing Eve's adventure the definitive way, complete with a suite of PC-specific features and improvements. Even on the base PS5, the performance of Stellar Blade was, well… stellar upon launch. The game had no problems hitting the coveted 60 frames per second (fps) on Performance Mode, even offering three different graphics modes, a feature not often seen on the platform: Performance Mode, which ran at 1440p upscaled to 4K at a practically locked 60fps; Balanced Mode, which ran at a dynamic 1080p to 1440p with temporal reconstruction up to 4K for cleaner image fidelity and also mostly stuck to 60fps; and a Quality Mode which targeted a native 4K image at a locked 30fps. The PC port removes these frame rate limitations, unlocking the game's maximum potential with possible frame rates well above 60fps, which is extremely important considering the timing-based nature of its combat. With the added fluidity, perfect parries and dodges are now much easier to pull off than before, making combat more satisfying as a result. To further improve performance, Stellar Blade also includes support for modern AI-assisted upscaling tools, such as NVIDIA DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, for ramping up performance with the least impact on visual quality. Frame generation technologies are also supported, such as NVIDIA's latest multi-frame generation, which boosts frame rates even further on GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards. On a gaming laptop powered by an RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU, Stellar Blade achieved an average frame rate of between 180 and 200fps on maximum graphical settings, including DLSS 4 on Quality and with Multi-Frame generation turned on – an impressive feat for a laptop graphics card. Even without all the performance bells and whistles, the game's optimisation remains impressive. When tested on a lower-end Intel Arc A750 GPU (comparable to an RTX 4060) with an Intel Core i5-12400F processor, the game managed to maintain a mostly locked 60fps at a 3440×1440-pixel widescreen resolution with all settings at High, only dropping to the mid-50s during intensive cutscenes. Apart from performance, Stellar Blade 's PC port also includes various features exclusive to the platform, such as the 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawide and super ultrawide aspect ratios, alongside additional 4K background textures. Controller users can expect full support for the PlayStation DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features, with the ability to fully customise key layouts for gamepads, keyboards and mice for added flexibility. Additionally, a host of new content has been added across PC and PS5, including a new boss fight with Mann, the leader of the Sentinels, 25 additional Nano Suits, as well as Simplified Chinese and Japanese voiceovers with matching facial animations. A new paid crossover DLC with Goddess of Victory: Nikke has also been released for both platforms, bringing new game-inspired costumes and bonus missions featuring Nikke 's cover-shooting mechanics. With the PC release of Stellar Blade , there's no better time to hop in and witness Eve's journey for both newcomers and returning players. For more, check out our gameplay video above showcasing 45 minutes of the game running on an RTX 4090 gaming rig at max settings at an ultra-wide 3440×1440 resolution.

28 Years Later
A whole century before 28 Days Later (2002) reinvigorated the zombie film genre, English poet Rudyard Kipling published the poem, 'Boots'. Don't – don't – don't – don't – look at what's in front of you – / (Boots – boots – boots – boots – boots movin' up and down again!) / Men – men – men – men – men go mad with watchin' em / And there's no discharge in war! Count – count – count – count the bullets in the bandoliers / If – your – eyes – drop – they – will get atop o' you! It was featured prominently in the first and second trailers for 28 Years Later , setting a gritty, nerve-wracking tone that fits right into a world ravaged by the infected (director Danny Boyle prefers the term over 'zombies'), and signposting the various foreshadowing and parallel depictions to come. The bold execution has yielded a handsome pay-off, where the familiar sense of post-apocalyptic despair and taut anticipation permeates its entire length. Simmering below the surface, however, are elements that examine morality, mortality, and the importance of accepting death – like the original sleeper hit, the long-awaited threequel is a zombie flick, adrenaline ride, and human drama all rolled into one, evolving what the series does best with strong casting that accentuates its soulful core, even if it doesn't always stick the landing. Marking a reunion between Boyle ( Slumdog Millionaire , Trainspotting ), screenwriter Alex Garland (Ex Machina , Civil War ), and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle after 23 years (the 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later, was spearheaded by a different team), the latest instalment wastes no time in establishing its premise. The containment of the Rage virus to the U.K. mainland has spawned an entire generation of survivors on a small tidal island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended footbridge. Leading the narrative is 12-year-old Spike, played by A New Breed of Criminal 's Alfie Williams, who's taking his first steps as a hunter-in-training to gather resources for the community in the mainland, accompanied by his father Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kraven the Hunter ). Naturally, things go awry quickly, and the pair find themselves crossing paths with various infected species, from lumbering crawlers and fleet-footed ragers to their powerful, intelligent leader: the Alpha. All of these take place while Spike's mother, Isla (Jodie Comer, Killing Eve ), is confined to bed, weak with an unknown illness that causes bouts of memory loss. Jamie's aloof treatment towards her drives him and Spike apart, especially after the latter discovers a solution that could help Isla get better, except it requires a trip back to the mainland. So begins round two and the makings of a coming-of-age story – as much as the desolated, blighted world allows, at least. Young as he may be, Williams proves highly adept at commanding attention, expertly straddling the line between vulnerability and the desire to protect. The fear of not being strong enough, of stumbling at critical moments, adds authenticity and sincerity to his portrayal of Spike, who does stumble or let his guard down along the way. But he's also a barely-teenager still wet behind the ears, and 28 Years Later often reminds viewers that such moments of weakness are normal and human. The same human touch colours the characterisation of Isla and Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes, the Harry Potter series), another survivor described to be a little eccentric. Comer slips into her role easily, sharing strong on-screen chemistry with Williams, and putting up an impressive performance steeped in emotions, splintered memories, and most importantly, a mother's love for her child. Meanwhile, Fiennes breathes life into a tender-hearted, if wild, man who honours death in his own poetic way, imparting a meaningful lesson about mortality that has its roots in the Latin phrase memento mori or, remember (that you have) to die'. It's the kind of heart that fuelled 28 Days Later , and the threequel makes sure to inherit other trappings of its past, starting with thematic relevance to the real world. Where the original tapped into the collective societal fear of deadly infections during the early 2000s, Brexit – the withdrawal of the U.K. from the European Union – and the COVID-19 pandemic served as inspiration for the isolated island and community. Then, there's the stylised cinematography and editing that harks back to Boyle's 1996 black comedy drama film, Trainspotting . Shot primarily on the iPhone 15 Max alongside action cameras, drones, and other digital and film cameras (which makes for a neat nod to shooting the original movie on the Canon XL-1 digital camera), 28 Years Later presents a schizophrenic patchwork of harsh night-vision reds, clips from the 1944 adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V , and marching soldiers against the haunting voiceover of 'Boots', the poem mentioned in the opening paragraph, as one of its most striking sequences. The punchy, intoxicating frenzy is testament to clever editing, accompanied by quick cuts of distorted camera angles and unsettling zoom-ins, alongside warped synths that run parallel to the footage. It works great for evoking paranoia and anxiety, as well as the occasional imagery or callback scenes, faltering only when paired with the bullet-time effect, which creates the illusion of freezing or slowing down time made popular by 1999's The Matrix . Here, the freeze-frame technique is employed after successful shots to an infected's weak spot, meant to mirror the change from first- to third-person perspective in video games. The execution is more of a flub, however – at best, the refreshing unconventionality loses its magic after the first few attempts; at worst, the jarring transition breaks up the flow of continuity into the next scene. Additionally, the antiquated quality of several archival footage featured in 28 Years Later can be a sharp juxtaposition to modern-day camerawork, as much as it tries to maintain the old-school, scrappy aesthetic. On the note of video games, the infected horde will be a familiar sight for fans of titles like Left 4 Dead 2 ( L4D2 ), The Last of Us , and more. Building on its introduction of fast zombies in the original pic that reinvigorated the genre, the survival thriller returns with two new types of infected: the Slow Lows, grotesque, bloated crawlers who eat bugs to survive (think the Boomer from L4D2 ) – an ingenious nod to 'Boots' sees one of them chewing on shoelaces from a, you guessed it, boot – and the Alphas. As previously mentioned, the latter are more intelligent and stronger than ordinary stragglers, capable of taking multiple arrows to the body without dying. These terrifying, towering beings that can be mistaken for the cousins of the titans in Attack on Titan aren't invincible, but require a lot of effort to defeat. In the case of Spike, an Alpha nicknamed Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry) hounds him as a relentless force, demonstrating his raw strength by ripping out a soldier's head with the spine still attached to the skull. All of that with his bare hands, mind you. And there's plenty more where that came from. 28 Years Later promises a generous helping of blood, violence, and visceral gore, whether it's shredded guts, blood eruptions, or pummelling action. Such acts of barbarism are often preceded or followed by white-knuckled chase sequences and high-strung suspense, which are easily its pièce de résistance. Most notably, the movie has mastered the art of delivering jump scare fake-outs, lulling audiences into a false sense of security before sneaking in an unexpected jolt that accurately conveys the primal fear felt by the characters. Amid the chills, (blood) spills, and thrills are some bright spots of humour. Primarily conveyed through Swedish NATO soldier Erik Sundqvist (Edvin Ryding, Young Royals ), the lighthearted elements bring a welcome change of pace, putting forth the reminder to find joy in the smaller things in life, like how the signboard of a petrol station reads 'Hell' instead of 'Shell' in the film. The jokes land successfully for the most part, although the drastic tonal shift in the ending scene does feel a little out of place. 28 Years Later isn't perfect. The bold, experimental nature of its kinetic camerawork and editing can alienate viewers, while its CGI rendering of explosions lacks finesse. Despite fleshing out the worldbuilding and infected lore, some questions remain unanswered. Yet, these duller elements do little to tarnish the legacy that the franchise has built over the years – in fact, some may even find that they add charm and character to the mix. In an oversaturated and ever-growing genre, Boyle's latest outing stands out with a humanist core that will hold up as a study in morality and mortality come 28 days, weeks, or years later – and beyond, as Candyman director Nia DaCosta prepares to take over the reins for the next instalment, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple . Summary 18 years is a long time to wait, and 28 Years Later makes sure to reward patience. Gritty, striking, and emotionally gripping, it respects and evolves the hallmarks that have made the original so beloved.
