The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt piti päivittyä uuden sukupolven loistoon jo jokin aika sitten, mutta nyt päivitystä on lykätty jonnekin tulevaisuuteen. Asiasta uutisoi myös Gamereactor. CD Projekt Red siirsi projektin Saber Interactivelta takaisin itselleen.
IGN:n mukaan CD Projekt Red on tähdentänyt sijoittajille, että päivitys ei ole vaikeuksissa, eli niin sanotussa "development hell" -tilassa.
"When it comes to next-gen launch of Witcher 3, there's one comment I wanted to make. I've been looking at headlines around the internet and one drew my attention: 'Witcher 3 next-gen delayed indefinitely.' "[This] sounds like the game is in sort of development hell. I want to say it's not a fact. There have been a lot of insinuations that we're going to launch June of next year. That's completely not the case. The game is going to be finished in-house. Nobody is saying the game is delayed in some monumental sort of time gap ahead of us."
