Witcher 3 long term support plans include "completely new mechanisms" - report
CD Projekt RED plans to continue supporting The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt through 2016 at least, and to provide much more than a few big fixes and some story DLC.
The developer published a Polish-language break down of what it expects from the next few years, kindly translated be members of the Witcher forums.
The roadmap makes reference to "long-term Witcher 3 support involving completely new mechanisms".
Interestingly, CD Projekt Red expects to release "two smaller (about 20 hours of gameplay) but top-quality games supporting one of the product lines", and a "cross-platform mobile game based on one of CDPR's brands".
If that weren't enough projects for a few short years, the publisher will open a US branch focused on marketing and PR; begin licensing its REDengine; and launch Cyberpunk 2077. Full details below.
