The Witcher 3 Remastered Is Fixing the Part of Open-World RPGs That Ages Fastest

CD Projekt Red already had a pretty impressive set of upcoming releases, from The Witcher 4 to the original Witcher Remake, but no one expected to see anything else at Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live. However, to everyone's surprise, we are actually getting a remastered update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for free, well ahead of the third DLC release in 2027 and the sequel in 2028. Arriving on September 29, 2026, we are going to get to see a whole different side to the game both visually and mechanically, the latter of which seems to be solving a problem that many other RPGs struggle with due to the passage of time.
