The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Gets a Remaster This September
Listen to the story
CD Projekt Red has announced a remaster of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one of its most popular video games. The remaster will bring updated graphics and improvements to the original game.
The remaster will launch in September. Importantly, it will be a free upgrade for everyone who already owns the game. Players will not need to buy a new copy to enjoy the improved version.
Alongside the remaster announcement, the company also revealed a first look at new content called Songs of the Past. This appears to be additional material connected to the remastered edition.
The Witcher 3 first launched several years ago and became one of the most praised role-playing games of its generation. It has sold widely and built a large, loyal fan base around the world.
By offering the remaster as a free upgrade, CD Projekt Red is rewarding existing players rather than asking them to pay again. This approach has been welcomed by many fans on social media.
The remaster is expected to improve visuals and possibly performance, though the company has focused mainly on confirming the release timing and the new content preview so far.
More details about Songs of the Past and other remaster features are likely to be shared closer to the September launch date, as the company continues to promote the upcoming release.
