About The Witcher 3: Next-Gen
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is CD Projekt Red's open-world action-RPG adapting Andrzej Sapkowski's novels, following monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. As Geralt searches for his adopted daughter Ciri, hunted by a spectral army called the Wild Hunt, players navigate morally grey choices, deeply designed side quests, and one of the most detailed open worlds of its era. A free 2022 Next-Gen update added ray tracing, improved textures, and content inspired by the Netflix series. The Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone expansions are widely considered among the best DLC ever made.
