Things aren't going well for the promising enhanced version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. CD Projekt RED initially said that the upgrade would be arriving in late 2021 before delaying it to the first half of 2022. Now, it appears that Geralt's re-release for the current-gen consoles isn't going to be here for a little while longer.
The Polish studio went on Twitter to break the unfortunate news to fans. According to the announcement, CDPR has elected to move the work on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen versions to its "in-house development team." The studio is now "evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice.
Previously, Saber Interactive had helmed the development of the project. CDPR and Saber Interactive previously worked together on the well-reviewed Nintendo Switch port of The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3 remains CDPR's most recognizable and best game. The open-world RPGs combat system, vast and encompassing world, as well as amazing visuals and lore-rich mythos has earned it a place among the best video games of all time. To date, many fans are still willing to give CDPR hope that it can turn things around for Cyberpunk 2077 after seeing what the studio did to The Witcher 3.
