In a tweet this afternoon, CD Projekt confirmed that "the next gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming on December 14." The studio hasn't revealed any further information on the update yet, but says that it'll reveal "more details and gameplay" in a stream next week.

In a press release, CD Projekt confirmed that the update will be available across PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. Promising "dozens of visual, performance, and technical enhancements over the original," the new version will feature ray tracing support, faster loading times, and "a variety of mods integrated into the experience." On top of that, there's be "new additional content" inspired by Netflix's Witcher series.
