CDPR push back The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PS5 release
CD Projekt Red has had a tough time of it in recent months – there’s been a data breach, the continual poor reception of Cyberpunk 2077… The only thing we had to hold on to for a long time was 4K Geralt and adventures with Roach on PS5. It looks like that has gone too – The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S has been pushed back. Here’s what we know…
CDPR announce delay to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PS5
Earlier today, CD Projekt Red announced a delay to The Witcher 3’s native next-gen release in “current report no. 39/2021” with the following statement…
” CD PROJEKT S.A. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) wishes to provide an update regarding its publication schedule for 2021 as concerns the release of dedicated versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for next-gen consoles (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5). The Management Board of the Company hereby announces that, based on recommendations supplied by persons supervising development, it has decided to allocate additional time to both projects. The Company currently intends to release the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 in the first quarter of 2022, and the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the second quarter of 2022.”
It’s unusual that this announcement has come as a legal document – so we’ve linked the consumer friendly tweet from the official CD Projekt Red Twitter account below, too. Either way, they both say the same thing… The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t going to be released on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S in 2022.
