The Witcher 3: The Complete Edition is officially heading to the Nintendo Switch this October. This was announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live via a new trailer, which you can see below:
The game will include all the content you love about The Witcher 3 including its expansions. As for the trailer itself, well, yeah. It doesn’t look too great, visually speaking. Of course, the Nintendo Switch just isn’t built for games like CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3 and it has been previously reported that some compromises had to be made for the sake of performance. In an interview with VGC back in June, CD Project Red’s UI Coordinator Alvin Liu addressed these trade-offs:
Liu continued, stating that the game still looked great:
The Nintendo Switch port will run at 720p while docked and 540p in handheld mode. The game may not look “amazing” but having The Witcher 3 on a portable console is a plus, as long as the gameplay doesn’t suffer due to performance issues.
You can play The Witcher 3: The Complete Edition on the Nintendo Switch on October 15th, 2019.
