CD Projekt Red has confirmed in a tweet that “the next-gen update The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming on December 14.” The studio has yet to share specific details but we can expect “more details” as well as “gameplay” next week during a live stream.

This means the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will be released in just one month’s time. There will be an upgrade free for those who have already bought the game. The update will come with numerous visual, performance and technical enhancements for Witcher fans to enjoy. This also includes ray tracing support, “faster loadings times on consoles” as well as “variety of mods integrated into the experience” and more.

The details on integrated mods and other features will be shared during next week’s stream. CDPR have also confirmed all previous DLC including new The Witcher Netflix series content will also be released.

Previously the development had shared a next-gen version of the game that was in development for consoles giving a Q4 release window. Consoles players will get to enjoy the upgrade just in time for Christmas.

As for physical editions, fans will have to wait a little while longer as the studio shares that will come “at a later date”:

The Witcher franchise has been quite busy as of late, with recent announcements of The Witcher being developed in Unreal Engine 5. The Witcher 4 development is also underway, announcing Sebastian Kalemba as the game’s director. There is also content coming to games outside the Witcher-verse, with Lost Ark getting a crossover collab in early 2023. More eyes are on the Witcher franchise than ever with new mediums to enjoy the IP such as the Netflix series. It was just announced last month that the lead Henry Cavill will be departing in Season 4, to be replaced by Liam Hemsworth.

In order to prepare for the next-gen update be sure to drop by our The Witcher 3 wiki.
