CD Projekt Red Announces ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered’ with September Launch

CD Projekt Red has officially announced that it is revisiting its magnum opus, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The seminal 2015 role-playing game is receiving a comprehensive overhaul, with the studio confirming that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered is scheduled for release on September 29th.

This new iteration promises to modernize the player experience through significant visual enhancements and refined combat mechanics. Beyond the graphical polish, the developers have implemented a “reimagined” skill tree, offering players fresh ways to customize Geralt of Rivia’s abilities. The package will also include the game’s critically acclaimed expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, ensuring that players have access to the complete saga in one definitive collection.

A Consumer-Friendly Upgrade Path

In a move that mirrors the studio’s previous commitment to its community, CD Projekt Red confirmed that the Remastered version will be provided as a free upgrade for existing owners. This applies to those who own the base game on GOG, Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Furthermore, the studio announced that The Witcher 3 will expand its reach by debuting on the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the launch of this remastered edition.

A Strategic Roadmap for the Franchise

This upcoming release builds upon the momentum generated by the initial next-gen update that arrived in late 2022. For CD Projekt Red, the Remastered launch serves as the cornerstone of an ambitious long-term strategy for the franchise.

The studio has laid out a clear roadmap for the coming years, signaling a major push into the future of the Witcher universe. Following the launch of the remastered edition, fans can look forward to a brand new expansion for the title titled Songs of the Past, which is slated for a 2027 release. This will act as a bridge to the next chapter of the series: the highly anticipated mainline installment, The Witcher 4, which is currently projected to arrive in 2028.

As CD Projekt Red continues to breathe new life into the world of the Continent, the September launch of the Remastered version offers both veteran players and newcomers the perfect opportunity to experience—or revisit—one of the most celebrated RPGs in gaming history.
