  • Songs of the Past is now available to wishlist ahead of its 2027 release. It will take players to the brand new realm of Letten — an idyllic land of rural tradition that hides a dark secret just below the surface.
  • Remastered — a free upgrade for existing The Witcher 3 owners on qualifying platforms — brings a slew of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more when it launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • The Witcher 3 is coming to two brand new platforms. A native version of Remastered will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, and through a new partnership between CD PROJEKT RED and Blizzard Entertainment, Battle.net — both on September 29.
  • All owners of The Witcher 3 can now play to two acclaimed expansions — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine — at no additional cost.

To the Witcher fans out there, if I haven’t played the game, should I play it now or wait for the new expansion?

I just have a steamdeck, so I’m not too concerned about the new graphics as I’m sure I can’t run it well anyway.

    Start now it’s a big game and one of the DLCs is as big as the main game itself. I don’t think you’ll be missing anything by starting without the new DLC being available. I’m gonna play it and I haven’t played the Witcher 3 in years. I may even replay the whole game again just to prepare.

    I looked though the announcement. Is the remaster coming out next year with the new expansion? I’ll probably just wait as I already have the game, but I’d like to just start fresh or I’ll have rpg ambesia by the time the remaster cones out.

    I personally would wait for the improved controls in the remaster, but it’s free so there’s no reason not to try and see if it feels good or not.

    If you start playing now you’ll have lots of time to play the existing base plus expansions. Blood and Wine took about as long as the base game for me.

    It’s a long game. Very good story and characters, but long.

    Also, don’t be an idiot like me: I got the bad ending by choosing funny options not knowing it affected specific outcomes and later events. No spoilers, but you don’t want that. I suggest playing in character (however you feel your Geralt should be) and sticking with it.

    I have played it before (twice, never completing it) and I thought about giving it another try but I am going to wait since there are a lot of changes. Thinking on the skill tree as it is going to get revamped.
