CD Projekt RED confirms on Twitter that the Complete Edition will no longer be available for purchase soon.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was marketed on Nintendo Switch in its Complete Edition, which includes all the DLC and the two major expansions, all on the same card (or digital download, of course). However, CD Projekt RED will provide a new possibility to its users: to be able to buy each of its elements separately, that is, the base game on the one hand and the DLC on the other.
The information has been published on the official Twitter account of The Witcher, which includes a longer article with all the doubts resolved. “We have decided to change the way we sell the game to offer players more flexibility. At the moment, both versions will be available on the Nintendo eShop, but the Full Edition will be withdrawn ”later to be replaced by the separate products.
Of course, those who already own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition will be able to download it again even when it is removed from the Nintendo store. To ensure that no owner of this edition buys the game separately on the eShop, the studio will offer a 100% discount (full price) to all these players (digital or physical, they point out in the article).
Starting today gamers around the world are able to buy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for #NintendoSwitch either as a Complete Edition, which contains base game, both expansions and all free DLCs, or separately.
