A YouTuber specialising in The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 scoops is suggesting that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is going to be released in late October.
It would be some seasonal timing, given that Samhain is the time when the boundary of this world and the Otherworld is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to travel through and visit Earth. That's sounding very similar to the Conjunction of the Spheres which brought monsters, and therefore monster hunters, to The Continent. Even if this date that YouTuber Hambone Gaming provides turns out to not be true, it'd be a missed opportunity in my books.
Check out the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin, the upcoming show that takes place thousands of years in The Continent's past, here!
Hambone Gaming points out that CD Projekt Red has announced a "20 Years of CDPR" concert at the Lucca Comics and Games festival on October 28, and it's using the new-gen artwork of Geralt in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It's evident that developer is pulling out all of the stops here, with the composer of World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor conducting a performance from the 70-piece Orchestra Giovanile Italiana di Fiesole and Percival.
The team could have used any other image of Geralt to promote the concert, but it's this one that has been consistently used whenever the company has been issuing updates on the new-gen version of the game. And, to host an event of this scale celebrating all that CD Projekt Red has achieved, it would be a perfect time to drop the new game. We'll have to wait and see, of course.
