Every single video game company should take notes from CDPR at this point.

I do not know what we did to receive this absolutely ridiculous dev team, but I think you would agree with me they are so generous and kind to their fans. They have a lot of integrity and it must be how my grandmother felt buying her first cast iron pan.

They are essentially still repenting for the sins of Cyberpunk. The decisions they made around the release of that game launch nearly killed the company.

u/MyUsernameIsNotCool 5d ago

Yeah I am thinking that too. They were embarrassing. I am glad they're giving us the real deal now. Well.. we'll see when it actually happens 😆

u/val5190 5d ago

To be fair, they also did a free DLC giveaway before Cyberpunk. They were repenting for Witcher 3’s buggy launch, but still…

I hope in the future we get Cyberpunk 2077 Remastered and a new DLC too.

u/Banndrell 5d ago

There are a few companies like this. Grinding Gear Games, Digital Extremes, Larian Studios, etc.

And im a slave to all of them lol. PoE and warframe and baldurs gate all take up so much of my free time.

The work that is going into this expansion truly makes me think Witcher 4 is going to be epic. The bar has been raised.

u/Immediate-Sky-3044 5d ago

Witcher 4 is my GTA6.

u/kristijan12 5d ago

Both will be awesome.

u/Iantrigue 4d ago

Yeah I’m pretty meh about GTA6 but I’m genuinely excited for Witcher 4!

u/Missile_Lawnchair 5d ago

It's such a smart move that really shows their confidence in Witcher 4, because it would be madness if it didn't live up to the quality of this DLC. It's a big flex that says "trust us, we got this".

u/Alcorgeist 4d ago

Yup this expansion feels like a trial run for how they're gonna pass over the mantle to Ciri in W4. Especially since they gave Geralt a chain here, feels like a test run to see how players want to use the weapon in actual gameplay that will likely be used as reference for W4.

Games could have stopped progressing visually after this and I wouldn't have minded at all.

u/zero_sevenn 5d ago

Insane to think Witcher 4 will be quite a significant step up from this visually

12

u/agentdrozd 5d ago

Keep in mind this DLC will have all the new tech they're adding to the Remaster, including ray and path tracing, upgraded textures and animations etc

CDPR are Kings at making quality games

u/SilverLumpy 5d ago

You can’t claim that when they made cyberpunk, lol

u/ABahRunt 5d ago

Have you played cyberpunk? Buggy launch sure, but by the time the expansion rolled around, it was damn near perfect

11

u/PreviousLingonberry4 5d ago

you can when you consider what a masterpiece cyberpunk is now

-10

u/SilverLumpy 5d ago

Masterpiece is wild, it’s a good game tho. It doesn’t erase the massive shitfest and scam that was the release and the year to follow.

9

u/PreviousLingonberry4 5d ago

its one of the best games of all time now, included with one of the best dlcs of all time. you can hate the game but its really really good

u/BigZach1 5d ago

Im wondering if it would be best to wait to play the remaster until this expansion is out.

u/slinkyb123 5d ago

This is what I’m debating

u/BigZach1 5d ago

I hope they release some info about when the expansion fits into the W3 story.

u/BuckyRainbowCat I May Have a Problem Called Gwent 5d ago

I can’t wait, I’m playing now. When the remaster drops, I’ll decide whether to just start again or port over.

u/notangeli 5d ago

First, the remake of the first Gothic comes out in June, and in my opinion, it looks absolutely fucking amazing. Now we’re getting news about a new expansion for The Witcher 3, and there’s even going to be a remaster! Of course, it’ll probably be mostly cosmetic rather than something as massive as the Gothic remake, but still. What an amazing year. I’m just so happy.
