The Witcher 3 Next-Gen Delayed

In a recent tweet, The Witcher announced that the release of their highly anticipated next-gen version of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt will be delayed. The tweet stated, "We have decided that our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.

This announcement came as a disappointment to many fans who were eagerly awaiting the next-gen version of the game. However, it is not uncommon for game developers to delay releases in order to ensure that the final product meets their high standards. The Witcher team wants to make sure that the next-gen release of The Witcher 3 is up to a really good standard, and as gamers, we can appreciate the time and effort they are putting into perfecting the game.


As we have seen in the past, more time for polish is always a good thing when it comes to game development. It allows developers to iron out any bugs or glitches, optimize performance, and deliver a more seamless gaming experience. The Witcher team's decision to delay the release of the next-gen version shows their commitment to delivering a top-quality game that will satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers to the series.

Road 96 on PS5

In other gaming news, the critically acclaimed game Road 96 is now available on PlayStation. This story-driven narrative game received positive reviews upon its release and offers players a unique experience. The game revolves around the player's attempt to escape a country, and what sets it apart is its procedurally generated nature. This means that each playthrough will be different, offering players a fresh and unpredictable experience every time they dive into the game.


Fans of narrative-driven games will undoubtedly appreciate the immersive and unpredictable nature of Road 96. The game's procedurally generated content ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, adding to its replay value. Whether you're a fan of the genre or simply looking for a captivating and thrilling gaming experience, Road 96 is definitely worth checking out if you own a PlayStation.

PlayStation Acquiring Kojima... Maybe?

Additionally, Hideo Kojima himself recently mentioned that they are moving offices for Kojima Productions, further fueling the rumors.


While nothing has been officially announced at this point, the combination of these factors has led to excitement and anticipation among fans.
