The updated version of the highly regarded role-playing game The Witcher 3 will receive a massive remaster with improved graphics and gameplay on September 29 this year, and owners of the original version will be able to update completely free of charge. In 2027, the developers will release a third story supplement for the game called “Song of the Past.”
Marcin Blaha, vice president of narrative, noted that the team does not view the project as an inviolable monument and believes there is room for improvement. New content is created by Fool Theory veterans and staff, combining past experiences with fresh creative perspectives.
“For me, The Witcher 3 is not a monument or untouchable,” Bryaka said in a recent interview. “It’s still alive in my memory, and it’s still — it may not be a benchmark, but it can still be improved upon. “When I play The Witcher 3, I still find things that I think maybe I would do differently today.
So, you know, adding a new expansion isn’t a big deal. The fact that we still have this, you know, we have this thing, and we’re still able to create a story that works not just for the original Witcher 3 but also for Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. It’s still a very exciting feeling – a time machine that takes me back 10 years to when I was younger, perhaps with more passion and enthusiasm.
“It could also be my aging process, where I look at some things from a different perspective.” Maybe the problem isn’t the game, but me, looking at the game through different eyes. “However, that’s not to say that Song of the Past is going to be a video game with a grumpy old man sitting on the porch yelling at kids.
“Our team includes veterans of The Witcher 3 as well as developers who have recently joined Fool’s Theory or the project,” said Blyakha. “So I hope this isn’t an extension of gerontology.” This will be greatly facilitated by the enthusiasm of the writers, mission designers, and Fool Theory developers. “
