Breakpoint to Release the Mobile Version of the Witcher

Mobile games developer and publisher Breakpoint announced that it is going to release the mobile version of Witcher, as a result of a licensing agreement with the Eastern European publisher of PC games - CD Projekt.

The PC version of the role playing game, to be released by CD Projekt in spring, will be accompanied by the launch of the mobile version developed by Breakpoint. Witcher for mobiles is a 2D side-scrolling platform fighting game with RPG elements, both versions of the game emphasizing on an innovative combat system.

A well-known brand in Central and Eastern Europe, the Witcher tells a fascinating story set in the universe created by Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski, who has sold over a million books worldwide. The main character is a charismatic monster-slayer who possesses superhuman powers.

"We are proud to create a mobile game featuring Sapkowski's the Witcher character," said Pawel Feldman, Breakpoint's Publishing and Licensing Manager. "The cooperation with CD Projekt goes smoothly and we have already planned joint marketing activities for the PC and mobile games."

Adam Kicinski, CD Projekt RED CEO said: "The Witcher mobile game is a next step in the process of building our worldwide brand. Breakpoint team offered the best concept, and has a large experience, necessary to distribute The Witcher mobile game around the world."

The Witcher mobile game is going to be another step in implementing Breakpoint's strategy to develop, port and publish several games based on regional licenses in 2007. The Witcher is the second licensing agreement signed this month after the deal with the International Footbag Players' Association concerning a mobile Footbag game.
