Following the release of yesterday’s free content pack as part of CD Projekt Red’s pragmatic approach to DLC, the polish developer has offered further details for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt‘s new patch, stating that the new update is “very large” in size.
Answering fan questions via Twitter, the studio’s Community Lead Marcin Momot stated that the patch won’t be release today, but that more information will be released sooner rather than later.
@Miikka9 Definitely not today. That’s all I can say for now.

Chief among those fixes will be the hard-to-read text, which has proven to be a problem considering the sheer amount of content lurking beneath Wild Hunt‘s striking appearance, meaning players have already spent a fair chunk of playing time squinting at menus. In tandem with this, a notorious XP bug is due to be rectified, while the update – referred to as 1.04 on PC and 1.05 on consoles – will also target general improvements to stability and performance. You can check out the still-to-be-finalized patch notes at the end of the post.
In terms of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt‘s new content freebie, this week will herald the release of some flashy Nifgaardian armor along with an elite crossbow so you can embark on your monster-hunting quests in style.
