New-Gen The Witcher 3 Upgrade Gets A Cryptic Update

Fans have been waiting for the new-gen upgrade for The Witcher 3 for some time, and even though news of an ungodly sum of The Witcher projects in the pipeline seems to keep coming, there's little to be said for the long-expected upgrade.

As a franchise, The Witcher is in a fantastic spot as a result of this news, but some players who want to see some ray tracing in their favourite RPG. And it looks like news on the uber-hyped upgrade could be coming soon. Maybe.

The Witcher 3 New-Gen Upgrade News Is Coming "Soon"

As fans have been wondering when to expect news on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version of The Witcher 3, CD PROJEKT RED seem to have responded with a cryptic one-word teaser.

Responding to a fan's tweet wondering when we could see the newest iteration of the modern-classic fantasy title, the official Witcher Twitter account responded with the word "soon," accompanied by a winky face. This is not helpful, The Witcher.

After the announcement that the original The Witcher is getting a new-gen remake, it's remakes galore over at CDPR. Soon could mean anything, from tomorrow to months away, so there's a lot of room left for dastardly speculation. So, let's unpack this single-word response.

What Does The Witcher Mean By "Soon"?

Though this tease could truly mean anything, it's worth anticipating the new-gen upgrade of The Witcher 3 before Christmas. CD PROJEKT RED made a few promises after the pushback of the upgrade, namely that the game would be aiming for a launch in 2022. If the team doesn't reach it, there will be swathes of angry fans to deal with.

The Witcher 3 belongs on new-gen hardware, and it'll be great to see it finally make its arrival with all of its flashy visual upgrades along for the ride. It'll also be the end of a frustrating saga of waiting for fans who aren't exactly well-known for their patience.
