The Witcher III: Remastered was announced at the very end of the opening night of Gamescom, and for good reason. It's one of the most exciting gaming remasters in recent history, bringing one of the highest-selling video games of all time to modern technological standards.
The fun doesn't stop there because Blizzard has actually chosen to collaborate with CD Projekt Red to bring The Witcher III: Remastered to the Battle.Net launcher when the game launches on September 29. They also announced a new Geralt skin coming to Diablo IV.
Quote From Blizzard Entertainment The team at CD PROJEKT RED is incredibly proud to team up with Blizzard and the Diablo IV team, kicking off a partnership between two studios with a deep passion for immersive worlds and memorable RPGs that players never forget. And what better way to begin, than by bringing the dark fantasy world of The Witcher to Battle.net?
The Witcher Hits Battle.net
Battle.net players can discover Geralt of Rivia’s legendary story in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered when it launches on September 29. This version includes modernizations and improvements across visuals, gameplay, and comes with two acclaimed expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Plus, it’s available to pre-purchase now.
Meanwhile, Geralt of Rivia returns to the Path in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Songs of the Past, a brand-new expansion to one of the best-selling role-playing games of all time. With enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more through the Remastered upgrade, the idyllic land of Letten is yours to explore. But a dark secret lurks beneath the surface, and Geralt must overcome never-before-seen foes as he fights to overcome its long-dormant evil. More than his life is at stake though; across a story filled with choices and consequences, the fate of the entire land, and even Geralt’s closest friendship, are also at risk.
Bringing The Witcher 3 to Diablo IV
To celebrate The Witcher coming to Battle.net, we’re bringing a slice of The Continent to Sanctuary. When pre-purchase becomes available for Songs of the Past, players who do so or buy the expansion after launch will gain access to a Geralt-themed skin in Diablo IV. Our teams have worked hard to make something special for fans of both franchises, and we can’t wait to share more information at Blizzcon this September!
Become a Professional Monster Slayer
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the most acclaimed RPGs of all time. You take on the role of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer known as a witcher, and explore a vast open world. Geralt is tasked with his most important and personal contract yet: tracking down his adopted daughter Ciri, the Child of Prophecy, before the spectral riders of the Wild Hunt find her and claim her unique power for themselves.
As you journey through the war-torn Northern Kingdoms, you’ll face bloodthirsty monsters, dark curses, and ancient secrets. Using silver and steel swords, alongside combat magic, witcher senses, potions, oils, and more, Geralt will meet an array of memorable characters and make destiny-defining choices that hold lasting consequences.
The game can be pre-purchased on their store right now. It also includes the ability to wishlist the new Songs of the Past DLC.
