Developer CD Projekt RED has announced plans for a Game of the Year Edition of its critically acclaimed fantasy-RPG title, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
While details are still being worked on, it is presumed the re-release will incorporate all available downloadable content, as well as the various updates that have been made to the game since its release in May 2015.
The Witcher 3 is available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, so it’s a safe bet that you’ll be able to pick up the Game of the Year Edition on all three platforms. No release date has been announced as of yet
“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was a gigantic effort for the entire studio, and both the team and me were amazed by the good reception of Geralt’s adventures. Since launch, we’ve released two expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, which added a lot of new adventures to the already potent mix,” said the company.
"With all the free DLC and updates the game received so far, including significant changes to the game’s interface and mechanics, many gamers have asked us if we’re working on some sort of a Game of the Year Edition. I’m happy to confirm – yes, plans are in motion to release such an edition. We’ll release more details, including the release date, in the future. In the meantime, I’d like to thank every fan of the game for their support – you’re really amazing!"
Sadly for fans of the series, CD Projekt RED has announced plans to move on from The Witcher series, and it’s not known when (or indeed if) the studio will revisit the multi-million selling brand in the future beyond the recently-revealed GWET card game.
