The Witcher 3: PS5/Xbox Series Upgrade Isn’t In Development Hell, Says CDPR
CD Projekt RED once again comments on the next-gen upgrade of The Witcher 3.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S upgrade for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt should actually be released in the second quarter of 2022. But as CD Projekt RED announced a few days ago, the improved version of the role-playing game is being postponed. There is no new release date yet. The exact reasons for the postponement are also unknown, leading to the assumption that there could be problems with the development.
What’s new? CDPR now comments again on the postponement and makes it clear: the upgrade is expressly not “in development hell”. And the developer studio also gives hope for the new release date.
The Witcher 3: Release for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S not too far away
The statements come from Michał Nowakowski, senior vice president of business development at CDPR (via PC gamers). During the developer studio’s inventory call on Maundy Thursday, he made it clear:
I’ve been looking at the headlines that have popped up here and there around the internet and I’ve seen one that really caught my attention which is “Witcher 3 Next-Gen Indefinitely Delayed” which sounds like the game would be in development hell. I want to make it clear that this is not the case.
And about the release of the upgrade, Nowakowski says the following:
There have been many hints that the upgrade will launch next June or so. That is absolutely not the case. […] Nobody is saying that the game will be postponed with a monumental time lag. That’s all I can say about Witcher Next-Gen, but I really want to emphasize this fact.
