A shinier Wild Hunt

The subsequent-gen replace for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a welcome end-of-year shock. The mission had been pretty quiet, because the highlight had been totally on different video games like Cyberpunk 2077, which bought its next-gen replace earlier this yr.

And I can’t lie, I’ve been ready for this replace too. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was one of many higher RPGs of the final technology, particularly with its glorious pair of DLC tales. I used to be simply holding out for an excuse to hop again in, and properly, that is nearly as good as any.

It’s time for a Witcher refresher too, because the sequence has so much on the horizon. Whereas a part of CD Projekt is engaged on Cyberpunk, one other department is growing the following trilogy in The Witcher sequence. The Molasses Flood can be working by itself Witcher mission, and third-party studio Idiot’s Idea is growing a remake of The Witcher, the primary recreation, in Unreal Engine 5.
