- Songs of the Past is now available to wishlist ahead of its 2027 release. It will take players to the brand new realm of Letten — an idyllic land of rural tradition that hides a dark secret just below the surface.
- Remastered — a free upgrade for existing The Witcher 3 owners on qualifying platforms — brings a slew of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more when it launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
- The Witcher 3 is coming to two brand new platforms. A native version of Remastered will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, and through a new partnership between CD PROJEKT RED and Blizzard Entertainment, Battle.net — both on September 29.
- All owners of The Witcher 3 can now play to two acclaimed expansions — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine — at no additional cost.
I tried playing the game for a couple of hours, but I gave up. Should I give it another chance by playing it more to see if the game reveals itself?
It’s a very slow burn experience. Expect 100+ hours to get through, especially with the DLC. It’s not for everyone certainly, but there’s a lot of great stuff in it. Two hours in you’ve seen very little of the game, or it’s story - which I think is it’s strongest part.
If you’re having a hard time getting into it, I’d skip all the side quests until you get to Novigrad. I started and dropped it a few times because I got bored of wandering around the swamp, but to me the game comes alive in Novigrad
Thanks for the advice. I was indeed doing the side quests really early in the game. Going now to concentrate on the main quests until I get to Novigrad.
