The Witcher developer CD Projekt is reportedly set to be acquired by Polish computer firm Optimus.

The privately owned Poland-based developer, which is also the proprietor of digital distribution platform Good Old Games, will become a publicly traded business on the stock exchange following its acquisition, according to Polygamia.

Earlier this year the same site broke the news that the development of CD Projekt’s PS3 and Xbox 360 RPG The Witcher: Rise Of The White Wolf had been suspended.

We’ve contacted CD Projekt for comment on this report.
