Here we go again: the next gen update of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt it has been postponed yet again and will not be released for quite a while it seems, as the guys at CD Projekt Red have explained that it will take a long time to complete. The announcement came as a surprise through the account Twitter of the software house.
The Witcher 3: next gen update postponed again
Here is what the software house writes on Twitter:
“We’ve decided that our in-house team will do the remaining work for the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We are currently evaluating the work to be done and therefore have to postpone the release until further notice. We will update you as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding.”
The situation in the studio therefore does not have to be the best at the moment, as this tweet testifies. The software house recently announced that it is working on the new The Witcher-themed project, among other things, so the workforce seems to be busy on several fronts, perhaps too many, if we consider that this update should have arrived months ago.
We have decided to have our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice. 1/2

In short, CD Projekt Red seems to be in a very delicate moment, but if it manages to get out of it or not we will have to find out in the coming months. The Cyberpunk case was certainly to bury the production chain of the software house so much, a game that only recently has had a series of updates such as to make it live up to expectations.
For our part, we can only hope that the Polish studio will get back on track.
