Bad news for those awaiting the arrival of The Sorcerer 3: A wild hunt for a new generation of consoles. And that’s because the launch, although originally scheduled for the fourth quarter of last year with a clear focus on Christmas presents, eventually had to be postponed, on that occasion, along with Cyberpunk 2077, whose version for new gen It finally hit the market two months ago.

After dropping the idea of ​​releasing both updates at the same time, in my opinion quite a reasonable step, a new schedule of Polish studies placed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sometime in the second quarter of this yearbetween April and June, so we could imagine that its development was well underway, and that Geralt de Rivia would soon arrive on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S in the right conditions to make the most of it. from these consoles.

We could imagine that until he surprisingly published the official account of the game on Twitter two messages in a threadin which CD Project Red announces a very important change in the development of a new gene version of Sorcerer 3: Wild Hunt. In both reports we can read the following:

«We have decided that the remaining work on the next generation of version of Sorcerer 3: Wild Hunt will be done by our own development team. We are currently evaluating the scope of work that needs to be done, so we need to postpone the Q2 release until further notice.

We will update as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.»

Undoubtedly attracting attention, the decision to abandon Saber Interactive, the studio that has been working on the update so far (and who is not mentioned in the reports) and that, in addition, it is necessary at this time to evaluate the work that remains to be done. I may be wrong, but when viewed from the outside and with this low awareness, it is difficult to reach solid conclusions, but for whatever reason, the CD Red Project does not seem to be very happy with the work of Saber Interactive. , and this led the company to resume development fort ze Zaklínače 3: Wild Hunt.

We may find out in time what motivated this decisionbut the fact that the CDPR project does not have detailed information on the remaining work, which should theoretically be more than measured in the study that has been in charge of the project so far, is another sign that things should not have gone the way both parties wished .

The bad part, of course, is that The Sorcerer 3: The Wild Hunt for the New Generation is postponed again. Right? That we can understand that the CD Project Red states the delivery of the game in the conditions before the delivery of the game as soon as possible. Something we can undoubtedly attribute to the painful learning that society has experienced with the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Well, the other bad thing is that it can also delay the restart of the saga, with all the expectations it has already generated. But I repeat, better sooner than sooner.
