Update, 5/19/22: 

The delayed new-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released in Q4 of 2022. 

Back in April, CD Projekt Red announced that it had taken the development of a new-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in-house and that as a result of this shift, the update had been essentially indefinitely delayed. Following reports that the delay was in «development hell,» CDPR put out a notice that this was not the case and now we know that the new-gen update will be released sometime in the final three months of this year.

Some reports referred to the delay as an “indefinite delay,” which often comes with the implication of “development hell.” 

In a new investors call, though, CDPR senior vice president of business development Michał Nowakowski explained that the delay is not in development hell.
