A
few hours after the listings have appeared online, CD Projekt RED confirmed that the listing is
a mistake and that they are currently looking into the matter. An Enhanced Edition of The
Witcher 3 is not unlikely at all, considering both The Witcher and The Witcher 2 received one
after release, so there's still the chance that one for The Witcher 3 might be released in the next few months.
The Witcher 3 is now available in all regions on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The new 1.12
patch is now available for the PC version.
