The Witcher 3 Remastered is adding a lot more than just better graphics.
CD Projekt Red has revealed several gameplay and quality-of-life changes:
- Skill trees have been reworked, with three ranks per skill and prerequisite skills needed to unlock new ones.
- Quest tracking is better, with markers for unfinished questlines on the map.
- Meditation gets a new time-lapse, making it feel more immersive.
- Bard’s Ballad mode makes the game easier to follow by simplifying some mechanics for players who struggle with mental fatigue or concentration.
- Photo Mode is getting more options, including the ability to add characters to your shots.
importing an existing save will reset your skill points, so you’ll need to rebuild your character.
And yes, the Remastered update is coming as a free upgrade.
