The Witcher 3 is getting a major update seven years after its debut. Wants to improve the base game to bring it to the current standards and bring it to the New Generation era. CD Projekt Red has completely overhauled the graphics, but has taken care to add some nice additions.
On which console is The Witcher 3 Next-Gen available?
This is a “Next Gen” update… so it’s available on consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, also on PC.
in case you don’t have than PS4, Xbox One or Switch, do not panic, you also have the right to update. On these consoles, if the game is only improved graphically with small touches, it benefits from all the other innovations in terms of gameplay, which we detail below.
How much does The Witcher 3 Next-Gen cost?
This is an “only” update. So, we have the base game as it was released in 2015 but has been improved. thus, no need to buy a new version To enjoy it just like in Remasters.
What changes in this Next Generation version?
The fourth episode has already been announced. At the moment we have very little information. Only certainties: he will use Unreal Engine 5 and start a new trilogy. It could also be that he’s making Geralt enjoy his retirement in peace by introducing an entirely new character.
The remake of the first part of 2007 is also in the pipes. It is scheduled to be released after The Witcher 4. and use its assets. It will allow players to (re)discover the founding title with new eyes. I must say that the 2007 game is quite old in terms of both graphics and gameplay.
In addition to all this, CD Projekt Red is also working on Cyberpunk 2077, a new part of its other flagship license.
