CDPR wants to make The Witcher 3 Remastered feel like any other game released today: 'It's so easy to get used to these new improvements that it's hard to go back'

The Witcher 3 is getting a remastered version on September 29, aiming to give the game a fresh feel like a 2026 release rather than a dusty 2015 copy. While previous updates were more technical, this remaster focuses on animation, gameplay, and quality of life improvements. Executive Producer Jakub Kutrzuba explains that the team aimed to bring the game up to the standards of new releases today.

They've enhanced enemy behavior, pathfinding, and fixed issues that could frustrate players. The improvements are so significant that even the developers can't return to the older version. Players will likely find the remastered game so enjoyable that they won't want to go back to the original, especially when the new expansion arrives next year.
