At that time, the developer’s in-house team had taken over the development of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition from Saber Interactive (also handled the Nintendo Switch port of the base game). However, the developer now seems pretty confident that it will be able to release the upgraded version this year.

Along with The Witcher, CD Projekt had also scheduled the Cyberpunk 2077’s next-gen updates release for 2021, however, both got delayed. Cyberpunk 2077′ upgraded version finally landed in February this year with major improvements including ray tracing support and faster loading times.

Although the company has not yet revealed or teased any upcoming features or updates for this game, it is expected to get some Netflix series-inspired armour. When asked about the upcoming features, CD Projekt Red global community director Marcin Momot responded on Twitter stating that “there will be a time for that,” but nothing has been revealed from the company’s end so far.
