The Witcher 3 is officially coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X via next-gen update scheduled for December 14

Everyone's favorite bard from the Northern Kingdoms, Jaskier, is also getting a new fresh look inspired by the show. However, his lack of facial hair is quite the slip-up!

In addition to this, the newly introduced gameplay features visible from play testing mostly affect Roach. Gerald's trusted sidekick can now walk backwards, kick her master's foes, and even keep her head afloat when swimming. Apart from becoming more reactive, Narrative Director Philip Weber also pointed out that Roach was getting a ton of new features fans should be excited about.

When asked about possible further expansions to The Witcher 3, Weber stated that the team envisions the already-released Blood and Wine expansion as the final DLC. But he noted that fans should be excited about Project Polaris, which is the production name for the next expansion of The Witcher chronicle.

A number of community mods are also being introduced to the base game, universally improving the gameplay experience. Fans should be pumped as Orld Map Fixes, Immersion, HDMR, Nitpicker's patch, and many more mods are included in this free DLC.

Visual upgrades and quality-of-life improvements highlight the changes that this update will bring to the PS5 and Series X versions, as shown in the Digital Foundry video above. Higher-quality models from various angles, reworked foliage, and many more 4K textures should make for a more enjoyable visual experience. While faster-responding controls when using signs to cast magic spells and revised camera angles make the game look, feel, and perform better than ever before.
