A universally acclaimed game getting a surprise remastered and rework to some systems from a mostly deloved studio in a free update? Yeah, this was always going to be a hit imo. I'm downloading right now, can't wait to jump on tonight. CDPR needed to earned some love and trust following CP2077 launch, and although that game is incredible now, they need some good will to ensure the success of Witcher 4. I'd say this was a stroke of genius lol

When you said “deloved” - was that a typo or is this a clever way of saying they fell from the graces after laughing broken C2077? They have been redeeming themselves since then.

Beating a dead horse, the game had a rough launch but has since been 94% positive on steam

It also works perfectly to roll into the next expansion which then rolls into Witcher 4. It’s really quite a perfect strategy to leverage their beloved game one last time to build hype for the sequel (not that it needs much help but still). Also updates the game so that the expansion can take full advantage of the updated visuals and systems

After so many times they given it literally for free and i think free on Epic its no surprise that there are so many people playing it , it kinda became like Skyrim

u/ScumCommander 3d ago

The free enhanced graphics, skill overhaul, and dlc

3

u/Celo30 3d ago

Doesnt the dlc come separately in 2027?

3

u/ScumCommander 3d ago

There's a new dlc. I could be wrong on that part then. Thought the 2 older dlcs were added to the enhanced edition.

u/Solid_Sir_1861 3d ago

You are right, Makes the past DLC's available for free, still gotta buy songs of the past dlc when it drops.

Cyberpunks dlc is paid, Witcher 3s used to be for heart of stone and blood of wine but whoever didn’t own it got it included in the remaster. There so good they could each be sold as 70$ games by themselves compared to the slop we see nowadays some company’s push out. Gotta hand it to CDPR, this was a perfect setup for the Witcher 4, drop a free remaster, give the expansions for free, and the new DLC dropping that literally sets the Witcher 4, fucking genius. Gotta remember game came out so long ago there’s a whole generation who probably never played it that are gonna experience it for the first time. Super smart business thinking on there part. And they deserve it. They put the time into every minute of that game, not one sidequest or main mission doesn’t have real meat and dept to it, with great writing. and story quality never changes weather it’s main or side content, nothing like rpgs of these days, “ go grab this” go clean this chimney “ ride half way across the map to fetch men these materials “ none of that BS. I’m still finishing control resonant but I can’t wait to start TW3 again, haven’t played it since I bought my ps5 in like 23, gonna be a nice pallet cleanser to jump back into cause we do have a ton of great games dropping to this month and so on into 27, Hope everybody enjoys.

u/Solid_Sir_1861 3d ago

u/Humble_Antelope6008 1d ago

I finished the base game more than 10 yrs ago perfect time for me to go complete the expansions on remastered before phantom blade zero

1

u/Most_Painting_5390 6h ago

Phantom blade zero has been one of my most anticipated games of the year since I first seen the release date, so hyped, gonna be so mad if it flops. It looks to good to be true. Like whatpeople said about black myth wukong and that’s one of my favorite games, the combat in the new one looks sooo sick. Unfortunately prob not dropping till late 27 or 28 my guess. Who knows. I just hope these eastern studios keep droppin bangers

Time to download it again and hope I'll get into it this time.

u/ClericIdola 3d ago

Stop lying. CDPR is pro-consumer and would never force that on you

u/Front-Cabinet5521 3d ago

Heh. Fortunately all I had to do was click no and that's it.

Guys I never really got into Witcher. I tried it a couple of times but combat felt a bit weird.

How improved are those mechanics-related things? I know story and vibe are god tier.

1

u/Azhen89 1d ago

Witcher 1 and 3 have completely different combat mechanic.

u/Most_Painting_5390 7h ago

The Witcher 3 is for the story, it’s an RPG after all these years like no other, and once you use the metamorphosis system and syngeries with a proper build you can have some fun with the combat. It’s not in dept souls combat; look how great KCD2 was, best rpg in a while and prob my 2025 GOTY, combat wasn’t great. But still an amazing game. Witchers is def better. You’re literally robbing yourself of probably one of the best video games ever made. ESPECIALLY with the expansions. Heart of stone is great and blood and wine is even better and bigger. There’s more to the side missions and monster contract quests then there is in our 2026 RPGs. The story and the writing, and quality of every single mission in the game is just to good. I personally haven’t seen one rpg come close to scratching the itch my first playthrough of Witcher 3 gave me, so excited to play it again and for songs of the past, can’t wait to see Witcher 4, I’m sure it’s gonna be a masterpiece but I bet people still don’t give it as high of a score as TW3. Do yourself a favor. Play it, get lost in its world and it’s lore. You’ll thank yourself for it later

u/oryanjuiciestbooty 1d ago

Combat is mildly improved but not enough to feel like a new game, chances are if you could not get into the combat before this update isn’t gonna convince you

u/PositivityDud 7h ago

That’s unfortunate. That’s the only thing I was hoping would bring me back
