Speaking to Ars Technica , Blow said he was invited by Sony to a 2-day pre-announcement summit for developers that went over the then-new machine's specs.Following the Sony summit, Blow reached out to Microsoft for similar information and was told Microsoft had no plan in place to reveal to an independent developer details on upcoming hardware.Of course, The Witness is a timed exclusive, and it's already slated to release on PC alongside its PS4 counterpart. In fact, today Blow released a launch trailer and announced January 26, 2016 as The Witness' release date Blow said he expects players will discover they can play The Witness 80 to 100 hours, depending on how much of a completionist they consider themselves. Blow said that's 10 times longer than he expected when the game first entered into production. However, gamers not interested in investing that much time into the game will still have plenty to keep them interested, he promised.
