Metropolis Software was a Polish video game developer founded in 1992[1] by high school friends Adrian Chmielarz and Grzegorz Miechowski.
[5] Metropolis secured a license to develop a video game based on Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher series around 1997.
[1] According to Chmielarz, Sapkowski had little interest in the game, only seeing the monetary value of the license, giving Metropolis freedom to develop as they saw fit.
The company got as far as completing one playable level, producing press material, and securing a publisher TopWare, but at the time, Metropolis was also working on three other titles.
Between these, difficulties with the game, and TopWare's concern that the Slavic nature of the source material may not have international appeal, the project was shelved.
