Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 next-gen updates delayed

The update incorporating raytracing and other mod negatives to The Witcher 3 will not start this yr, builders CD Projekt Crimson declared these days. They’ve been fancying up their fantasy RPG for the most current console generation, and all those ‘next-gen’ additions are headed to Laptop in a patch much too. But not this calendar year. Rather, glance to be blinded by the gentle in spring 2024. They’ve also delayed the subsequent-gen edition of Cyberpunk 2077 for consoles.

“Dependent on suggestions supplied by teams supervising the improvement of equally games, we resolved to postpone their releases right until 2024,” CDPR explained in modern announcement. They now program to release the next-gen variation of Cyberpunk 2077 in 2024 by the finish of March, with The Witcher 3’s update subsequent someday from April to the close of June.

When CDPR introduced The Witcher 3’s following-gen improve in September 2024, they mentioned it “will feature a range of visual and technical advancements — which include ray tracing and quicker loading periods — across the base game, each expansions, and all extra written content.” We now know it’ll also include free of charge DLC impressed by Netflix’s Witcher clearly show, like outfits. And even though that is mainly intended to bring the recreation to new consoles, it’s going to hit Computer system as a free of charge update.

As for Cyberpunk’s upcoming-gen update, I assume that only problems PS5 and Xbox Xeriex X cos the game’s rarely old, it just didn’t thoroughly come out on them yet—and the present Pc edition confident seems greater than the PS4 and Xbone editions.

“Apologies for the prolonged wait, but we want to make it ideal,” the company claimed nowadays about the delays. Immediately after they pissed away an astonishing volume of great will with the bungled launch of Cyberpunk 2077, yeah, that is a smart stance to acquire.

Cyberpunk 2077 would hardly ever live up to the hype. It couldn’t. No game could. But ignore people’s hopes of what it may well be, Cyberpunk’s farcical bugginess intended it failed to be the video game it was hoping to be. That is the metric I judge it from. I enjoyed a full great deal of my time in Evening Town but even I, an ardent admirer of Deadly Premonition, achieved a stage where by I made a decision to stop actively playing until it was patched up.
