What are the most popular video games developed in Poland?
Today let’s take a closer look at Poland, which sits well within the top 10 game developing countries in the world, spotlighting some of the greatest games to come out of its game-loving borders.
The Witcher
Whether it’s through the games, the recent TV show or even the original books themselves, chances are you’ve come into contact with The Witcher franchise at some point in the last twenty years as it has utterly exploded in global popularity.
While Andrzej Sapkowski’s original series of six fantasy novels had previously been adapted into comic books, board games and even snuck its way onto cinema screens in 2001, the series was still niche.
Polish developers CD Projekt Red changed this, bringing the franchise into the gaming world. And the rest is history, with the franchise growing in popularity until The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt absolutely took the gaming world by storm in 2015.

While the 2006 release spawned three sequels, all of which were received almost as well as the original, the game became overshadowed by the Red Dead franchise, which offered a totally different vision of the west – giving players a much larger open world to explore. Read More…
