A shinierWild Hunt
The next-gen update forThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntis a welcome end-of-year surprise. The project had been fairly quiet, as the spotlight had been mostly on other games likeCyberpunk 2077, whichgot its next-gen updateearlier this year.
And I can’t lie, I’ve been waiting for this update too.The Witcher 3: Wild Huntwas one of the better RPGs of the last generation, especially with its excellent pair of DLC stories. I was just holding out for an excuse to hop back in, and well, this is as good as any.
It’s a good time for aWitcherrefresher too, as the series has a lot on the horizon. While part of CD Projekt is working onCyberpunk, another branch is developingthe next trilogyinThe Witcherseries. The Molasses Flood is also working on its ownWitcherproject, and third-party studio Fool’s Theory isdeveloping a remakeofThe Witcher, the first game, in Unreal Engine 5.
