And four? Will the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of The Witcher 3 be delayed again? CD Projekt RED has provided an answer that will put fans at ease.
Cyberpunk 2077 may be the focus of the news, but CD Projekt RED is not forgetting about The Witcher. The Polish studio not only talked about The Witcher 4 saga, but also the news about The Witcher 3 PS5 & Xbox Series patch. So it’s postponed again or not?
When will the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of The Witcher 3 be released?
Postponed three times, The Witcher 3 update for the PS5 and Xbox series will be well received this year. The multiple delays leave room for doubt, but CD Projekt RED is formal: it will be by the end of 2022. In its tax filings, the studio confirmed its original plans. ” The company also plans to release an updated edition of The Witcher 3 in Q4 2022, leveraging the power of next-gen consoles.
The reunion with Geralt de Riv, Ciri, Triss and Yennefer, all dressed up like never before, should take place later this year. The Witcher 3 update for PS5 and Xbox Series X was originally developed by studio Saber Interactive before CD Projekt announced its acquisition last April. The studio had denied the rumors that its partner would take a long time to develop. ” We have decided to entrust the remaining work on the next-gen version to our internal development team.”
Details on this updated version are still sparse. We know that the game’s finish will be revised upwards to harness the power of PS5 and the Xbox Series, and that it will include all DLC released to date. The update will also contain some surprises related to the Netflix series The Witcher. However, we should learn more in the coming weeks.
