The focus on a possible Game of the Year Edition for The Witcher 3 has been growing since ratings for the game appeared on the German ratings board. The ratings board detailed the game Game of the Year Edition to be available across the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Well, it's not a rumor any more. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition is real. The game, with the huge expansions it got is big enough to be deserving of an all encompassing version.

Game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has confirmed the game in statement via Eurogamer.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was a gigantic effort for the entire studio, and both the team and me were amazed by the good reception of Geralt's adventures. Since launch, we've released two expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, which added a lot of new adventures to the already potent mix.

"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. 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!"

While no official release date has been revealed, sources say the game will release on August 26th, 2016.
