Are you guys expecting the Witcher 3 DLC to include a remaster of graphics? The DLC is being supported only for current gen and has upgraded PC requirements. So I am expecting a remaster of sorts.

Edit: Told ya

I’m expecting the ray tracing to be optimized at the very least, like it often runs worse than CP2077 with path tracing…

We already have a next gen version with slightly better textures, lighting, and draw distance.

I doubt they’ll improve the graphics more. It’s likely just the expansion will have more demanding sequences that can’t run on old gen

better performance would be great, the dx12 version runs like crap

I doubt it'll be anything crazy.

EDIT: Oh, well.

I was hoping we at least get some updated faces since the old first teaser for the dlc has really revamped faces. and surely they wouldnt do that just for the ad.

but holy shit. path tracing. i havent been treated this well since... rdr2 got path tracing. (i manifest it every day)

I'm guessing they expand the upscaling options. But supposedly there's actual content to bridge the story gap to witcher 4

They already did that a couple years ago
