The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has already secured over 1 million pre-orders, CD Projekt RED has announced.

The milestone figure comes ahead of the game’s launch next Tuesday and – disappointingly for the developer – shortly after its release in the United Arab Emirates.

“We’ve crossed the 1 million pre-order milestone and it’s all thanks to you guys!” said CD Projekt RED co-founder Marcin IwiÅ„ski. “We would like to thank all the gamers for their trust and support. This is the last stretch and we’re pushing hard – over the last two weeks, we’ve increased performance on all platforms and started working full speed on the expansions, Hearts of Stone & Blood and Wine.”

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launches officially on PS4, Xbox One and PC next Tuesday, May 19. Look out for our review at 3pm UK tomorrow afternoon.
