Delayed last month, having been previously scheduled for a Q2 2022 release, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition will now be releasing for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Q4 2022, developer CD Projekt RED has confirmed.

That puts the game's release somewhere around October to December, despite being announced in 2020 for a 2021 release, before the project was then taken from Saber Interactive's Russian development team, and brought back into internal development at CD Projekt RED.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition promises bolstered resolution, frame rate, and performance, with all of the new-gen bells and whistles you'd expect, as well as DLC inspired by the Netflix TV series. All being well, you'll be able to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Q4 2022, with a free upgrade available for existing owners of The Witcher 3 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Incidentally, today marks seven years since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first launched, the game selling 40 million copies to date. CD Projekt RED also has a new Witcher Saga in the pipeline, which will be built Unreal Engine 5.

  • 2030: Witcher 3 15th anniversary - Special edition for PS6!
  • It's weird how much I want to like this game, but I just can't. I'm sure Ill even try to play it again when this PS5 version comes out. I don't know why I cant just accept that I don't like it.
  • @Mikey. Don't be disheartened. I played and got the platinum + 100% DLC for this game last year (or year before?) and while I loved the characters, story and towns, I thought it was incredibly overrated and is an 8/10 game, maybe 9 at most.
    What the game did for me however is draw me into the lore and I subsequently picked up the books which are superb. I recommend maybe reading these first.
  • 30fps and a 60fps performance mode for a 9 year old game incoming huh?
  • What's funny is they'll probably try to charge for it and say the extra development time requires them to charge us now. Nty. They can keep their barely upgraded game at that point lol.
  • Just remove the release date already, this is embarassing. Make a surprise release when it's finally finished in 2023.
