  • 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.

Probably to playtest a new iteration of their engine to make it ready for Witcher 4. While W3 is old, it's updated version would require PS5/Xbox Series X/S.

    No. Witcher 4 will be an Unreal Engine game.

    Which is a shame. I feel like REDengine was getting so close to being actually good. But I get it, though. Easier onboarding of staff etc with UE. More resources out there. More documentation. Less work on the engine and more on the game itself. I understand the reasoning, I just don't like the UE near-monopoly.
