The Witcher 3 won't launch for a few hours yet, but we already know what improvements its day-one update is bringing along. Several NeoGAF users have posted their early patch notes, laying out in detail the first of CD Projekt Red's post-release plans for the open-world RPG.
Granted, between retailers selling the game early and reviews going up a few weeks ahead of time, you may have already seen quite a bit of The Witcher 3. But once you start running The Witcher 3 version 1.01 (it's a 482MB download on PS4), you'll see it with better behaved boats! And improved performance or whatever, but seriously, there's nothing worse than an ill-mannered boat.
Here are the update notes:
Major changes:
- Support for DLCs
- Multiple stability issues fixed
- Overall performance improvements
Quests and game:
- Variety of cosmetic quest improvements
- Journal objective fixes
- Quest mapping fixes
- Dialogue flag fixes
- Quest balancing issues
- Scene triggering improvements
Gameplay systems:
- Boat behavior
- AI improvements
- NPC spawn strategy improvements
- Combat balancing
- UI optimizations
CD Projekt Red says Ciri is "faster, more agile" in The Witcher 4, but she won't be OP like she is at the end of The Witcher 3: "Something totally happened in between"
After revolutionizing the open-world RPG twice in 10 years, CDPR is dreaming even bigger with The Witcher 4: "We definitely want to raise the bar with every game that we create"
