To celebrate, CD Projekt paid tribute to BioWare, the company that helped bring The Witcher to life. CD Projekt's joint CEO, Michał Nowakowski, praised BioWare as a vital part of CD Projekt's history. The iconic RPG was built on BioWare's Aurora engine, which was used in Neverwinter Nights. Beyond sharing technology, BioWare supported The Witcher's growth and brought the Polish RPG to a wider audience. CD Projekt's tribute highlighted the significant role BioWare played in the game's development and success.",
