The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt delivers its first look at its next-gen offering
As promised, CD Projekt Red hosted a live stream earlier this morning and in it, we got our first look at the next-gen enhanced version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Check out the reveal trailer for it below.
A full breakdown of what has changed will revealed closer to the launch, but here is the high level overview, as provided by the developers.
Improved visuals
Ray Tracing, improved Screen Space Reflections, improved foliage, better textures and more visual improvements are coming to the game. Enjoy them to the fullest thanks to FSR 2.1 and DLSS 3 support!
Camera, controls and UI changes
Rediscover the Continent from a new perspective — we've added an alternative camera option that'll bring you closer to the action. Combined with the alternative Quick Sign Casting option, map filtering and the option to dynamically hide the minimap, it will make exploration even more exciting than before!
Photo mode
Capture the moment with the added photo mode! Does that mean there will be a The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt photo mode contest in the near future? Maybe.
Integrated mods
We've included some community-made favourites in addition to our own modifications.
Quest fixes
You've been asking for them — and we couldn't say no! The next-gen update has also been an opportunity to revisit some of the issues in the quests. The free next-gen update brings fixes to From Ofier's Distant Shores, Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear and more!
Netflix DLC
We have a very special treat for all of the fans of the Netflix show! Enjoy alternative looks for Dandelion and Nilfgaardian soldiers, as well as a new quest, inspired by the show, where you'll be able to get diagrams for new equipment for Geralt. What's the quest? Shhh! No spoilers!
Cross-progression
A feature you know from Cyberpunk 2077 — play the game how you like, wherever you like and carry over your latest save between platforms.
The Netflix content mentioned above will also come to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch versions of the game, meaning everyone can enjoy it.
If you wish you could watch the entire stream, then rejoice as it is below for you. The next gen update will launch on December 14th, so only a few weeks from now.
