The Witcher 3 Remastered announced: another huge free update, and all Witcher 3 owners get the existing expansions free
The update isn't just graphical, and it's out in September.
CD Projekt Red has announced The Witcher 3 Remastered, a free update set to launch on September 29 for all Witcher 3 owners. This remaster includes graphical enhancements and improvements to combat, movement, monster behaviors, the skill tree, and the photo mode. Additionally, players who don't already own the game's two expansions, Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone, will receive them free alongside the remaster.
CD Projekt Red's level design lead, Miles Tost, highlighted the improved visuals as the standout feature, mentioning updates such as new textures, advanced path tracing, and enhanced foliage. He emphasized that Geralt looks better than ever in the remaster. The remaster also offers a revamped combat system with smoother animations, a more precise targeting system, and new finishers. Furthermore, the game's ability system has been fully revamped to provide players with more options.
One aspect that remains unclear is whether players can choose to keep the graphical updates while opting out of the combat tweaks if they prefer the original combat experience.
