If you were waiting for the next-gen update for CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we have got some disappointing news for you. The developers, after announcing a brand new Witcher title based on Unreal Engine 5, have now delayed the update for its Witcher 3 title indefinitely. Check out the details below to know more.
The next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which was announced back in September 2020, was supposed to bring support for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/ S and a “range of visual and technical improvements—including ray tracing and faster loading times.” At the time, CD Projekt Red gave the responsibility of developing the update to Saber Interactive.
The update was supposed to release by the second quarter of 2022 as CDPR had its hands full, delivering the next-gen update to its much-hyped Cyberpunk 2077 title following its disastrous launch. However, CDPR suggests that it is “evaluating the scope of work to be done” possibly to avoid what happened with Cyberpunk 2077 at the time of launch.
