While the 16th free and final DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is arriving soon, CD Projekt RED community manager Lead Marcin Momot has announced that the epic RPG will be receiving yet another major update, the patch 1.08.
Momot first teased The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Patch1.08, then revealed later the patch notes via CD Projekt RED forums on its official website saying,
"In patch 1.07, the level requirements for certain items were scaled up, leaving some players stuck with only unusable gear. With patch 1.08, we are introducing the Wolven Hour potion. This potion will be available in everyone's inventory once they install the patch. It will reduce level requirements on all gear for a period of one hour. This will give players time to level up or find alternative equipment using the gear that was available to them in patch 1.05 but became unusable after patch 1.07. After one hour, the potion's effects will cease and the requirements for all gear will revert to their original, pre-potion values."
According to Inquistr, this latest patch will pave the way for the release of the final free DLC, New Game Plus, coming to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The note states, "Preparatory features paving the way for the introduction of New Game + in the future."
Other than the above, the major update also brings in fixes to gameplay, achievements, graphics, and quests. It also addresses several unique issues such as items in the stash would disappear or Geralt getting stuck while running as well as finding some ways to increase level requirement on a few gears following the rollout of patch 1.07.
In earlier news reported by Game Spot, CD Projekt Red also announced two big expansion titles for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The first DLC is dubbed 'The Hearts of Stone' and the second is titled, 'Blood and Wine'. An image related to the second expansion surfaced online showing castle on a hill which appears to be a place called 'Toussaint' that takes Geralt to a "land untainted by war, where an atmosphere of carefree indulgence and knightly ritual masks an ancient, bloody secret."
Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone will have around 20 hours of gameplay and 10 hours of exciting new content which will be released in October and Q1 2016, consecutively. These 2 expansion packs cost $25 and will be part of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt expansion pass.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt major patch 1.08 is arriving shortly bfore the release of the final free DLC for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC platforms.
