Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Remastered
Witcher 3 came out in 2015 which is a while back as of now. It was also released on Switch 2 as a full game on cartridge, however I didnt find it to look all that great or run super smooth. With the Switch 2 hardware I think that will change the game for this… game.
I will be playing this when it comes out September 29th on my Switch 2! If you already own the Switch 2 version you should get the upgrade for free to the Switch 2 version.
The remastered comes with improved graphics and a ton of extra features added. Below is the list I found.
Performance
- Native DX12, DLSS 4.5, FSR 4, and XeSS 2.0 support
- Rendering parallelization improvements
- Platform-specific features for PS5 Pro, Xbox Play Anywhere, and Nintendo Switch 2
Gameplay
- Overhauled skill tree
- New transmogrification system
- Reworked mount handling
- Improved monster behavior
- New sign visual effects
- New finishing-move animations
- Looting rework
- General movement/animation/combat refinements
Quality of life
- Cross-platform mod support
- Expanded photo mode
- Immersive meditation mode
- New quest-tracking system
- UI/menu navigation improvements
- Modernized tutorials
- New accessibility options.
New Expansion Songs of the Past
On top of the remastered we will be getting a DLC expansion next year for Witcher 3. How crazy is that for a 2015 game! It will add a new region, weapons and more.
