The Witcher 3 Developer Thinks That Great Games Will Do Well Regardless Of Where They Were Developed

While that rhetoric has begun to die down in recent years, thanks to the success of games like Persona 5 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the west, and the success of games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in Japan, for the longest time, it was believed that Japanese games lacked global appeal, and games made in the west wouldn’t gain traction in Japan. It was a stance that was especially emphasized in the wake of the previous generation, which saw Japanese games struggling on a global scale like never before.

However, as I noted already, this rhetoric has begun to die down in recent years. Speaking to Famitsu, CD Projekt’s CEO Marcin Iwiński said that he too believes that a good game, no matter where it is from, will do well across the world. Of course, he notes, he has reason to believe that, given the success The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt enjoyed in Japan, but to him that is evidence that quality is global.

I think I agree with him. And this generation, which has seen more games be successful across the world, is evidence of this more than anything.
