The announcement of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered at Gamescom’s opening night live broadcast brought many surprises to fans, but the main reason for joy was the complete redesign of the combat system.
Since its release in 2015, the original has been criticized for its “sticky” and “clunky” combat mechanics, and now CD PROJEKT RED aims to rectify this shortcoming. The project’s official website promises that every sword swing, gesture or dodge will feel new thanks to updated animations, brutal finishing moves and an adaptive camera.
In addition to the combat system, the remake will also provide players with improved monster behavior, redesigned riding physics, new logo effects, and more responsive movements. All of these changes are designed to make this cult RPG more exciting at every turn.
Let us remind you that publishing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered Edition Set to take place on September 29, 2026, the update will be free for current owners of the game on current platforms. The team will demonstrate detailed analysis of the innovation during upcoming live streams and at Gamescom.
