The next-gen update of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been delayed indefinitely. Developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) announced the same via its official Twitter handle earlier this week. The original expected date for the launch of the patch was in late 2021, which never happened. Instead, the release was then pushed to the second half of 2022.
This time CDPR has not revealed a precise expected timeline as to when it plans to launch the next-gen title. “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,” CDPR said in the tweet.

“We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice,” the statement adds.
As per a report by The Verge, the change was made “based on recommendations from persons in charge of development,’ as mentioned in a note for investors. What exactly is going to be new in the next-gen patch for the game is also still a mystery.
CDPR is reportedly planning to add free armour inspired by the Witcher Netflix series, but any major changes except that have not yet been revealed.
