At Gamescom, one of the major announcements was a remake of The Witcher 3 . The CD Projekt RED studio unexpectedly showed it, and everyone is only looking forward to the details of the DLC “Ballads of the Past” released in 2027. Meanwhile, The Witcher 3: Remastered will be distributed for free to all owners of the original game, which also surprised many.
digital foundry in its podcast Said that releasing “The Witcher 3” Remastered now is an ideal decision. The DLC will be released in 2027, and “The Witcher 4” is planned to be released in 2028. The Witcher 3 updates and additions should be a great advertisement for the new game.
It’s a great way to reignite interest in all things The Witcher. It’s clear that The Witcher 4 is coming soon, so the studio’s actions are bringing people back to the series and rekindling memories.
Digital Foundry also compared the impact of CD Projekt RED and Rockstar on the gaming industry:
CD Projekt seems to have become one of the few companies with as much influence as Rockstar. They may not be on the same level yet, but in my opinion, they are very close to GTA developers in terms of industrial influence.
Let us remind you that the trailer of The Witcher 3: Remastered was considered the best trailer at Gamescom 2026, according to player reviews.
