The Witcher 3 developers gave us insights into the gameplay and further details about the next-gen update in the stream. Here is a list of all the known new features.
The release of the new Witcher 3 should finally come in December. This will give us a high-quality new version, for PC players this is even free of charge. Since there are many orders, quests and equipment in Witcher 3, the new update is more focused on improving the technology and also making the operation a little easier. In terms of next-gen adaptation, this also affects playing with the controller.
New Content
With a new quest you will be able to generate new equipment in the future. This is to ensure that you don't have to completely do without completely new content, but the free Netflix DLC comes into play.
New Functions
- Photo mode: With this you can capture your best scenes. As a rule, some overlays or effects can also be switched on.
- New camera: This allows you to follow Geralt differently, as the camera is closer to the sorcerer, so that you are close up, but can also keep an eye on the street. You can also decide that the camera changes depending on the situation.
- Adaptive trigger: When playing with a PS5 controller, you will feel that the trigger gives in less as soon as you have hit an enemy with your sword.
- Sign usage: Geralt's combat actions are automatically turned into his spell signs with just one button.
- Map filter: Soon every symbol on the map can be switched off individually.
