Development of the new Game "The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf" is Frozen
for Playstation3 and Xbox360!

LYON, France, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The French company Widescreen
Games has announced that the adaptation of the video game "The Witcher: Rise
of the White Wolf" for Playstation3 and Xbox360 consoles is being frozen.
The game was under development in partnership with Atari (publisher) and
CDProjekt (creator of the original game on PC).
"The development of the game "The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf" has
been suspended in an attempt to resolve financial problems among the various
project partners.
We regret this measure, particularly on behalf of the fans who were
impatiently awaiting the release of the game. I hope that we can find an
amicable solution with our present and former partners involved in this
ambitious project," commented Olivier Masclef, manager at Widescreen Games.
Although the finalization of the role-playing game "The Witcher :Rise of
the White Wolf" is indeed frozen, the video games studio will continue to
concentrate on its other productions.
Widescreen Games is also strengthening its R&D department as its
proprietary technology continues to contribute major added-value.
"The experience gained on the "Witcher" project shows the incredible
talent, competence and tenacity of our teams. In fact the entire code of the
original game was recreated by means of our proprietary engine (Da Vinci).
The quality does not disappoint in relation to the improvement of the graphic
assets, the creation of dynamic lights or also the mechanics of combat,"
added Olivier Masclef.
The company is also undertaking other projects and, although they are
still confidential, is developing several other games for Playstation3,
Xbox360 or Online (via the Identifiction brand).
