No, don’t rub your eyes, you read that right. The long-awaited Witcher 3 update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox S | X already has a date we will only have to wait a month so that we can finally enjoy the latest adventure of Geralt of Rivia in the current generation of consoles, which in reality have few the next generationWell, let’s recall that they arrived on the market almost two years ago (although it is true that their availability was not always the best, especially in the case of the PlayStation 5).

It may seem like yesterday, but the truth is that The Witcher 3 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox S|X was announced over two years ago, in September 2020, when both consoles were actually the next generation really. At that time, there was no planned date yet, and problems after the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 were without a doubt They were a blow to the CD Projekt RED calendarwhich had to put a lot of focus into turning the game into what it should have been from the start.

With the waters already a bit calmer in that sense, developer the launch of this expansion was planned for the fourth quarter of last yearbut for reasons that were not made available to the general public at the time, it eventually had to be delayed, which the company explained by saying “We apologize for the long wait, but we want to get it right”, which, given the immediate background of the developer, made me feel like great success.

However, the surprise came when CDPR announced last April that this more than anticipated update to The Witcher 3 had been delayed indefinitely. In addition, they also stated that the final stage of development will take place in our own studios, despite the fact that until now the development was in the hands of Saber Interactive. Rivers of ink have flowed around this, but I personally prefer the analysis of the situation by my colleague Isidro.

Since then, we’ve known about CD Projekt RED’s plans for the franchise, up to three new titles based on it and a remake of the saga’s first title, but nothing about the update announced over two years ago… today. And it’s a surprise, via the game’s official Twitter account, CD Projekt RED has announced the arrival of The Witcher 3 update on December 14thjust a month from today.

As already announced at the time, The Witcher 3 update It will be free for all users who already have the game And yes, in case you were wondering, PC users will also receive this update automaticallythe company says in responses to several tweets asking about it.

No images were displayed. gameplay or something similar, but as we can read in the report, it will use CDPR from next week his twitch channel to expand the information and show the first pictures of the game in motion, a very interesting approach to open mouths among users who have been waiting for this for a long time.
