A stunning improve to Geralt’s large quest

CD Projekt Crimson showcased the upcoming next-gen replace for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at present, and it appears to be like fairly nice. From large updates to small little modifications, it looks like a very good excuse to dive again into this huge RPG.

The particular REDstreams showcase aired at present, going over the small print of what’s to return for the replace. Whereas it’s a next-gen increase for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Sequence X|S, PC homeowners may also have the ability to benefit from the tune-ups too. To begin, right here’s a trailer:

On the graphics aspect of issues, consoles will get the choice for a efficiency or graphics mode. Efficiency will goal 60 FPS, whereas the graphics will purpose for 30 FPS with ray tracing.

PC gamers will get to maintain ratcheting up the appears to be like, with an Extremely Plus choice that increase background characters and the extent of element. That’s one thing for the 4090-buyers to indicate off their fancy {hardware}, I assume.

New instruments within the replace

It’s not only a graphical replace, although. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt can be getting a photograph mode, which appears to be like considerably just like Cyberpunk 2077‘s personal picture mode choices.

A brand new in-game digital camera additionally brings every little thing in a bit nearer, placing the participant’s perspective deeper within the motion. It’s an over-the-shoulder digital camera that’s a bit extra harking back to God of Battle (2018), and will make for an fascinating method to replay.

Plus, there’s some new content material. Geralt will have the ability to tackle a quest to get a set of armor primarily based on the Netflix sequence, and there’s another outfit for Dandelion impressed by Netflix’s Jaskier.

All of this, plus a bunch of quality-of-life choices and different touch-ups, are making a compelling case for dipping again into the world of The Witcher. Although this replace has been pushed again a couple of instances, it’s arriving fairly quickly, and I’m personally going to be hard-pressed to not dip into this earlier than the 12 months’s out.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next-gen replace is out on December 14, 2022.
