The next-gen version ofThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunthas slid around a fair bit. It moved into 2022 and then, most recently, slid into anundefined window. Alongside that news, CD Projekt also confirmed that it was bringing development in-house, rather than over at Saber Interactive. The team at Saber had previously handledThe Witcher 3‘sNintendo Switch port.
Something ends, something begins
CD Projekt had this next-gen version in the works alongsideCyberpunk 2077next-gen. The latterlaunched in February, in a surprising reveal and release event.
But whileCyberpunk 2077is a fairly new game, it’s been seven years since the launch ofThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It’s a massive game, but it’s fair to say thatWitcherfans would probably like to see how the world looks on newer hardware.
Anticipation for newWitchercontent is likely also higher than usual, thanks tothe recent announcementof a newWitcherin development. The next step inThe Witcheruniverse is being made in Unreal Engine 5 at CD Projekt Red.
The studio has also been strictly calling it a new saga. With a new step forward in the world, it’d be nice to have a next-gen version of Geralt’s journey too. The old witcher got a nice send-off withBlood and Wine, and it’d be nice to re-experience that.
We’ll see what CD Projekt Red’s got in store as the year rolls on.
