The studio once again confirmed that the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next-gen update has been delayed indefinitely. The studio is still in the âdevelopment workâ stage for the game and mentioned no time period for its release. The Molasses Flood, one of the game developers under CD Projekt Red, is also working on a new game based on either âThe Flame in the floodsâ or âDrake Hollowâ.Â
Gwent: The Witcher Card Game would also see a spin-off arriving in the future. Gwent: The Witcher Card Game was released back in 2018 which is a free-to-play digital collectible card game. The studio will also continue to extend its support for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. CD Projekt Red launched The Witcher: Monster Slayer last year. It is an augmented reality role-playing video game by Spokko. The studio said it would keep up the support for the AR game.
