Witcher 3 is often considered to be one of the best games ever made as well as one of the best RPGs of all time. At the first-ever Witchercon 2021, there were many surprises for the fans of the Witcher franchise and one of them was regarding a new update for Witcher 3. It was announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition is now scheduled to launch 2021 autumn but that didn’t happen. Here’s all we know about it.
Witcher 3 Next Gen Upgrade Delayed Again
In October 2021, the devs took to Twitter to announce the delay in release and apologized for the inconvenience and delays. They stated that though it is causing numerous delays, they want to do it right. Owing to the production delays and recommendations of the supervisory teams, CD Projekt Red has postponed the games to the first half of next year. Well, bad news has struck again as CDPR has decided to delay Witcher 3 Next Gen once again and this time indefinitely.
“We have decided to have our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” CDPR said via the official The Witcher Twitter account. “We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice.” The change was made “based on recommendations from persons in charge of development,” according to a note for investors.

So yeah, unfortunately we’ll have to wait even more to play The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt – The Complete Edition on next gen consoles i.e. PS5, and XBox Series X/S.
Witcher 3 Next Gen Update and DLC
As you may know, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition is going to roll out soon for the newer consoles, as well as PC. This would be the next gen update and would make Witcher 3 available to Play Station 5 and Xbox Series X. The next-gen update will be free for everyone who already owns the game. Also, it would contain some fresh DLC which will be available for every version of the game (including PS4, Xbox One, and Switch).
The new DLC for Witcher 3 will revolve around the Netflix series version. The Netflix version which features Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia aka The Witcher is mainly based on books but has many similarities to the games. It will not be a full on expansion like Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine, instead it is described as extra items.
So, we can expect the addition is a new skin for Geralt. This will make him resemble his Netflix actor Henry Cavill. It can also be a set of armor based on what he wears in the show. One thing which fans constantly demanded was for CD Projekt Red to add the song “Toss A Coin to Your Witcher” to Witcher 3. So, there’s a possibility that the DLC includes your favorite song from your favorite bard.
