The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt News

You're going to need to find a nice cool place in your house, start packing the walls and ceiling with ice, and layer the floor with heatsinks and cooling trays. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's system specs have been revealed and that game's going to make you computer run hot.

I'm looking through the minimum specs and the only thing my desktop can manage is the 40GB of hard drive space.

This Witcher 3 mod adds a new standalone quest to wrap up Blood and Wine

Filming on Netflix's The Witcher Season 2 has officially wrapped

Netflix's The Witcher set photos possibly reveal the Wild Hunt

If you've bested The Witcher 3 - and by Witcher 3, I mean the RPG game's full experience, two expansions and all - you'll have encountered Orianna's quest, Blood Simple. Featured as a possible main quest in the game's second DLC, Blood and Wine, it ends with something of a loose end - but now a new standalone quest mod aims to tell the tale to its end. Spoilers ahead, folks.

Nikich340's Witcher 3 new quest mod is called A Night To Remember, and it continues Orianna's questline beyond where Blood and Wine stops - so, after the point at which Geralt lets the vampire go, having vowed to deal with her should they ever cross paths again. It's described as a "completely new adventure featuring characters new and old", with "new writing, cutscenes, voice acting, assets, a special reward, and some difficult decisions..." Gulp.

What this new adventure - and these tricky new decisions - might bring exactly aren't detailed on the mod's page, but you can get a flavour of the quest in the clip below. Plus, the creator notes in the mod's comments that "after completing the quest you may try [...]other variants in main dialogue scenes to get another ending", so it sounds like there'll be different outcomes at its conclusion. Neat.

April 2, 2021 Netflix has confirmed that filming on The Witcher Season 2 has come to a close.

There's no sign of a Witcher Season 2 release date just yet, but we know that's it's marching ever closer, as Netflix has confirmed that filming on the new season has come to a close.

Early word on the end of filming started to slip out this week, and Netflix made it official earlier today. In a tweet, Netflix says "That's a wrap on Season 2! The White Wolf awaits you back on The Continent". An image of an extremely pleased-looking Henry Cavill with a clapperboard is attached, too.

This official report came after signs come from several sources, including hair and makeup artist on the show - which is based on The Witcher book series by Andrzej Sapkowski - Jacqueline Rathore. The artist has posted an Instagram story revealing that the decks - well, corkboards - have been cleared on the series, and that, as of March 31, the Season 2 filming is done.

During CD Projekt Red's company strategy video yesterday, the studio covered all sorts of ways in which they feel they got things wrong during Cyberpunk 2077's development. Not just development, but Cyberpunk's marketing too. In the future, they say they'll wait until much closer to a game's launch to start firing up trailers and demos and in depth looks at gameplay. That means if there's another big Witcher game out there on the horizon, we may not hear about it for quite a while yet. Honestly? Good.

In a company strategy video released today, CD Projekt Red have outlined changes they plan to make to the development studio's structure and focus. Chief among the changes is the news that their next project will no longer be a standalone multiplayer Cyberpunk game.

Instead, they're going to focus on developing fundamental technology that will eventually bring multiplayer components to all of their games. This was explained alongside a shift towards "parallel AAA game development", which will allow them to simultaneously work on both Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher series.
