The Witcher 3 will release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this year
The seemingly never-ending saga of wondering what’s up with Witcher 3‘s new-generation ports is coming to an end. Well, mostly.
On Thursday, CD Projekt Red announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will release sometime in Q4 2022 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While there’s no definitive date yet, that would place the launch for these versions sometime this fall. Better than nothing, I suppose — now let’s hope something more concrete isn’t far off.
In April, CD Projekt Red insisted nothing was wrong with Witcher 3‘s new-generation ports, mostly because fans were getting somewhat concerned after the project had seen so many delays.
CD Projekt Red is likely being cautious with all of its releases ever since Cyberpunk 2077‘s disastrous launch. Earlier this year, the studio announced a single-player Gwent title and another full-fledged Witcher RPG. All we know about the latter so far is it’ll utilize Unreal Engine 5 but probably will not be exclusive to the Epic Games Store.
It’s been exactly seven years since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt initially came out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Sorry for the sudden reminder that you’re getting old, but it happens! Hopefully, we all can age gracefully like Geralt and Yennefer.
