The title which arguably brought the Polish developers name to mainstream gamers’ attention is The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.

One of the most critically acclaimed games of this generation, The Witcher 3 is widely regarded for its huge open world and hundreds of hours of gameplay.

The Witcher 3 is currently only available on the PS4, Xbox One and PCs – but rumours has it it could be appearing on the Switch soon.

Doug Cockle, the voice of The Witcher 3’s Geralt of Rivia, dropped a hint a Switch port could be inbound in the run-up to E3 2019.

Last week Doug quoted a tweet from a Twitter user that created a mock-up of The Witcher 3 on Switch and boxart for it.

Alongside it the voice actor added: “Who else wants to see this…. 😉 #Witcher@CDPROJEKTRED #witcher3 #switch #NintendoSwitch”.

That cheeky smily will surely get fans excited that Cockle may be hinting The Witcher 3 could be on its way to the Nintendo Switch.

Besides this tweet there are other hints that a Witcher 3 Switch version could be in the works.

French retailer WTT listed a Witcher 3 Switch version on its website before quickly taking the page down.

The site did the same thing with the Switch version of Assassin’s Creed 3 before it was announced.

Listings for The Witcher 3 Switch were also seen on the sites of Chinese online retailer Taobao.com.

It remains to be seen if this rumour is true, and whether Witcher 3 will launch on the current Switch or the rumoured new Switch Pro model.

Either way, fans don’t have too much longer to wait to find out for certain.
