CDPR originally wanted to release The Witcher 3 in a late 2021. Cyberpunk 2077's next-gen update brought some major improvements, including ray tracing support and faster loading times.

There will be some free armor inspired by theNetflix series in the next-gen version of The Witcher 3, though CDPR hasn't said much about it. Despite the delays, the studio insists that the update is not in development hell.
