CD Projekt Red announces The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered, a free upgrade for the 2015 RPG. The updated game is scheduled to become available on September 29, according to the announcement shared across outlets. The remaster is presented as a package of upgrades rather than a new standalone purchase.
Outlets report that the remastered version includes visual improvements and changes to gameplay, particularly combat. TechRadar and Polygon both describe revamped or reworked gameplay systems as part of the update. The Verge adds detail that the remaster features improvements to visuals and combat, along with a “reimagined” skill tree.
CD Projekt Red also indicates that the upgrade includes additional content from the Witcher 3 release. The Verge specifically notes that it includes the first two expansions, which is consistent with the framing of a larger remastered edition. While the outlets agree on the upgrade’s free availability and the emphasis on visuals and combat, they vary slightly in how they highlight features such as the skill tree and the scope of included content.
