The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered
As Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter, you set out to find Ciri before the Wild Hunt reaches her. Geralt examines the scene, speaks to witnesses and prepares oils, potions and Signs for the creature he expects to face. A monster story often conceals a human dispute that winning a fight cannot settle.
The search for Ciri takes him across war-torn Velen, the trading city of Novigrad and the Skellige islands. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered revisits those stories with updated visuals, a reworked skill system and changes to movement and everyday controls. This edition includes Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.

- Prepare for the contract. Tracks and witness accounts help identify the threat. Bestiary entries, blade oils, bombs and Signs let Geralt prepare for a particular opponent.
- A reworked skill tree. Each skill now has three levels, and later branches require earlier skills. The update returns allocated skill points for reassignment. Existing saves remain compatible.
- Revised combat and movement. Geralt and Roach have updated animations, alongside new finishers and a dynamic combat camera. Some regular enemies have revised attack patterns and reactions.
- Remastered visuals. A multithreaded DirectX 12 renderer accompanies changes to materials, foliage, lighting and shadows. Compatible graphics cards can use path tracing and newer upscaling technologies.
- Separate appearance from attributes. Master craftspeople Joanna and Hattori can change a piece of equipment’s appearance without altering its stats. Collecting items and diagrams unlocks more looks.
- Time between contracts. Gwent offers another pursuit through cards and opponents to find. Meditation now shows time passing in the world, while expanded photo tools let you place characters, choose poses and change the weather.
- Optional voice packs. English and Russian voices are included. Other voice packs are separate downloads selected in the launcher.
Geralt’s main task is to find his adopted daughter before the Wild Hunt reaches her. The people he meets have reasons of their own to help or obstruct him. Dialogue choices and quest decisions affect characters’ fates and the endings of individual stories.
Hearts of Stone binds Geralt to Olgierd von Everec through a bargain with Gaunter O’Dimm. Blood and Wine takes him to Toussaint, where a murder investigation lies beneath the vineyards and knightly customs. Both expansions are included. Songs of the Past is announced for 2027 and is not part of this edition.

Reviews
This game transcends mere entertainment, emerging as a masterpiece I’ve had the privilege to experience, possibly the best I’ve ever played. Its vibrant worlds, profound characters, and immersive dialogues made every moment unforgettable. Completing every quest and exploring every corner brings a sense of nostalgia, akin to cherished memories.
The game’s magnitude isn’t just in its vast map or numerous quests but in its ambitious storytelling, the impact of choices, and the thrill of encountering and adapting to new challenges. CD PROJEKT has crafted an experience that’s left an indelible mark on my heart, for which I am profoundly grateful.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is hands down one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. Seriously, this game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. From the moment you start playing, you’re sucked into this incredibly detailed world filled with monsters, magic, and political intrigue.
After so many hours, so many adventures, so many life lessons.. I wish I had words to describe this game, but I simply don’t.
It is the best game I’ve ever played in my life, it’s like a work of art that I’m glad I had the chance to experience.
Every place you go feels so alive, the characters are so well written that most of the time I would get completely immersed in the conversations with them, Completed both the DLCs and man they were great. This is for sure a must-play.
10/10
Having had five major playthroughs of The Witcher 3 over the years, I cannot recommend this game enough for fans of open-world, “fantasy-realism” RPGs. The writing, voice acting and story quality are excellent and full of humour, the combat is fluid and satisfying and there is a strong level of excitement created by unlocking new gear and visiting new locations. The graphics have also always been top tier, kept up to date with Patch 4.0 and the inclusion of ray tracing and HDR.
The Blood and Wine DLC is definitely the best DLC pack I have played for any game, ever. It offers more of the best aspects of the base game, with its own bright atmosphere and locations which have been lovingly crafted with great ambition.
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an absolute masterpiece, seamlessly blending breathtaking visuals with an immersive narrative. The world of Geralt of Rivia is rich and alive, inviting players into a realm teeming with both beauty and danger. Its captivating story keeps you hooked from start to finish, filled with memorable characters and morally complex choices. Every corner of the expansive open world is packed with detail, making exploration a joy. From its stunning landscapes to its intricate quests, Witcher 3 sets a new standard for storytelling in gaming. A must-play for any RPG enthusiast.
This is, without a doubt, the best game I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. The exceptional character writing, captivating music, and engaging story have ensnared me in a way no other game has before. The depth of the world is enhanced by seemingly minor quests, like the one involving Lena in White Orchard, which, while not crucial to the gameplay, enrich the game’s universe with their presence and outcomes, imbuing it with life and offering rewards that reflect the classic Witcher series’ penchant for bittersweet narratives.
The game’s brilliance lies in its moral complexity, presenting players with decisions that often feel like choosing the lesser of two evils, and pushing them to contemplate what truly serves the greater good. Despite its age showing in certain aspects, the game remains an unparalleled experience for those willing to overlook its imperfections, promising an unforgettable journey.
