A worthy edition for a worthy game.

Developer CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed a Game of the Year Edition for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Word comes by way of Eurogamer, who received a statement from the developer confirming that a Game of the Year Edition was in the works.

"With all the free DLC and updates the game received so far, including significant changes to the game's interface and mechanics, many gamers have asked us if we're working on some sort of a Game of the Year Edition," said Game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. "I'm happy to confirm - yes, plans are in motion to release such an edition. We'll release more details, including the release date, in the future. In the meantime, I'd like to thank every fan of the game for their support - you're really amazing!"

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition was first spotted by Twitter user lifelower earlier today, who saw a rating of the edition pop up on the German ratings board USK. Although no release date is listed, a separate source told Eurogamer the Game of the Year Edition will release on August 26, 2016.

Is The Witcher 3 worthy of another edition? We think so, as we named it our 2015 Game of the Year. We also reviewed Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, the game's two expansions, and loved them both.
