CD Projekt says Witcher 3’s new-gen release is ‘on track’ for late 2022
Following a couple of delays, the game will arrive in the fourth quarter of the year
CD Projekt has confirmed that the updated version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains scheduled to be released for new-gen consoles and PC later this year.
During the company’s first half earnings call on Wednesday, CD Projekt president and joint CEO Adam Kiciński said the game is “on track” to release during the fourth quarter of 2022.
He also said the company expects its new Witcher saga, which was announced in March, to consist of “more than one game”.
Witcher 3’s new-gen release was originally scheduled to arrive last year before being delayed to the second quarter of 2022.
However, in April CD Projekt delayed its release again and brought development in-house to complete the project.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S editions of the game were being developed externally by Saber Interactive, which also previously handled the game’s Nintendo Switch port
CD Projekt said at the time that it was “evaluating the scope of work to be done” on the game and dismissed suggestions the product was in development hell.
