THE WITCHER NEW UPDATE

THE WITCHER 3 Wild Hunt’s free update optimizing the sport for next-generation consoles, which is ready to hit later this year, will include DLC “inspired by” the Netflix show, developer CD Projekt Red and Netflix announced at WitcherCon on Friday.

Very little was revealed about what the DLC will seem like, but we did get a little tease of what you would possibly be ready to expect: “So as an example, you may be ready to wear Geralt’s armor inspired by the Netflix series,” Philipp Weber, acting lead quest designer at CD Projekt Red, said during Friday’s WitcherCon stream. More information is coming soon.

The studio first announced that a next-gen update for PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC was within the works in September 2020, promising that it might bring “a range of visual and technical improvements” like ray tracing and quicker loading times. The update applies to “the base game, both expansions, and every one extra content,” CD Projekt Red said at the time.

At WitcherCon, Netflix also announced that the second season of the show will debut on December 17th which an animated prequel, Nightmare of the Wolf, will hit the streaming service on August 23rd.
