The Witcher is a series of fantasy action role-playing games developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt. It is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, acting as sequels to the story of the books.

The main series began in 2007 with the release of The Witcher, and concluded with 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As of 2020, the series has three main standalone games, two expansion packs and six spin-off games. The series is critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling over 50 million copies worldwide by May 2020.

In March 2022, a fourth installment of the franchise was announced to be in early development. It will use Unreal Engine 5 instead of REDengine, which the two previous games used,[1] and is planned as the start of a new trilogy for the series.

In October 2022, A remake of The Witcher was announced, which was formerly first teased under the codename, Canis Majoris. Entitled The Witcher Remake, it will be developed using Unreal Engine 5, the same engine in use for the planned second trilogy. Fool's Theory will mainly develop the remake with full creative supervision from The Witcher series staff and CD Projekt Red.

you know it is a great game when even without the update the game still look phenomenal

[megitsune]

Its insane how ambient occlusion combined with slightly higher quality foliage can transform a games looks

[better]

Wow the game looks much more fantasy like now, so grateful that it isn’t a paid upgrade like many newer games are.

[confidesconch]

For me, one of the biggest improvements are the lightning and the antialiasing. The antialiasing in the old version was for me a big downer. So great that their improved that game so much after years, that's when you care about the community.

[nickmildon]

Tip for everyone, turn the gamma wayyy down and then turn up the TV gamma settings and shadow detail. Game looks insane then

[davideghirelli]

I tried it thinking it was going to be unnoticeably better than the original, it blew my mind. Almost a whole new feeling of immersion, especially toussaint, mind blowing graphics

[solortus]

The original still looks awesome in 2022. CDPR really nailed the art direction

[vitor.com_acento]

The best thing to me is the lighting and the colors of the floor. Before, Velen looked like it was too yellowish, but now it's much better

[Sialyxz]

I'm more drawn to the old versions stylistic approach, the orange colors do a lot for the mood and the water feels better to me etc. It's a cool update though, field day for anyone that values realism more

[squallion]

I can see a major difference, I also have it set to ultra and it suns smooth, of course your going to have your exception, like major populated areas and lots of animations, but over all it was a great Next-Gen update, and I've only played like 4 hrs of it since it came out, So kudos to CDPR for a great job, I hope the CP 2077 DLC that's coming will be just as good, hers to hopping😁

[seminolethomas]

It's str8 up amazing. I just got my p5 and as much as I love the witcher 3 it's on another level now...Replay replay replay is a must. It's that gorgeous.

[-RocketCat]

I like that the environment has become more realistic, because of which the outdated character models (especially NPCs) are much more visible. And now it turns out that the characters are knocked out in terms of quality relative to the environment, like damn graphic mods for GTA 4, whatever you do, the age is still visible from the models of NPCs and characters.

[Bokaj]

Nice. It compliments the game well, looks more rich and adds volume to the environment.

[Apollyon_Rev]

Impressive upgrade. I've been wanting to try this game. When I'm finished playing a bunch of other games, this one's next.

[cwizzy]

Yup, definitely time for another playthrough.

[cocobos]

Even without RT, the upgraded 3D models looks details and awesome! The only thing that's still there which they didn't fix since day one is the ground layered texture. The ground looks transparent and you can see the layered which really break the immersion.

The trees move with the wind in the original but in next-gen, they look static, they don't react to the wind...

[rustyschackleford]

I love all the wild flowers and the improved textures in the game. Nice touches

[brandonmcduff]

Now it looks a little closer to that one trailer that looked incredible beyond belief. I think it was the reveal trailer

[bacd-nnlg]

This definitly brings me a feeling of going to the countryside in my country. The forest especially is really similar.
