-The company approached BioWare and Interplay to provide the Polish localizationwhich they agreed to, believing that the RPG could be quite a big market for Poland. They started working on a PC port for the sequel, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, after its success, although that was cancelled six months later due to financial problems with Interplay. CD Projekt would eventually launch their game development subsidiary, CD Projekt RED, in 2002, wondering whether they could proceed as a distributor or game developer[([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Projekt|Wikipedia]])] +

-CD Projekt RED doubled down on exploring and designing a new engine for consoles after the success of The Witcher, which would ultimately become the basis for building on both Witcher sequels. They were also working hard on designing an engine for The Witcher 3 at about the same time that the studio started design work for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. This engine will continue to be known as the RED Engine. [([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Projekt|Wikipedia]])]+==== Linux ==== 
 +The first part of The Witcher had its version for the Linux systemand also on the GOG.com platform, there are many games available for Penguin. [([[https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/witcher-enhanced-edition-directors-cut-linux/|Addictive Tips]])]
