The Witcher 3’s next-gen version now planned for Q4 2022
The next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is “planned” to release in Q4 2022, developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) announced Thursday. Previously, CDPR was targeting a Q2 2022 launch for the free update, but it pushed the release in April without providing a new date. Alongside that April announcement, CDPR said it would be bringing development of the update in-house, meaning it would be taking the reins from Saber Interactive.

CDPR hasn’t said too much about what we can expect with The Witcher 3’s next-gen version, though we do know there will be some free armor inspired by the Netflix series. But the studio insists that the update isn’t in development hell, despite the delays.
