CD Projekt Red gave some sad news for console players as their new Witcher game will not be launching for consoles when it comes out around late 2022.

Depending on one thing though, it may not be that bad as it sounds. This new Witcher game, called Project Golden Nekker for now, will be a Gwent spin-off and therefore the fans will not be missing much content or story even if they do not play this game.

Launch is planned for PC and mobile at first stage, and there is a reason for this. Game Director Vladimir Tortsov said that the constant need of updates and fixes for live service games is really tough, and at their current state it does not seem like a viable option.

Another sad news that recently came out was also the delay of next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Apparently 2022 is not being a great year for Witcher fans who are preferring consoles.
