Sign in to your ScreenRant account The release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered is less than a week away now, and CD Projekt Red has laid out exactly when players can expect to get their hands on the game. Although this remaster is an upgraded version of an 11-year-old game rather than an entirely new release, it's still an exciting moment for fans of the series. The Witcher 3 Remastered is set to release on September 29, which is true regardless of where you are in the world. For those who already own the original game on current-generation platforms, Remastered will arrive as a free upgrade, and it will also bring the game to the Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time. The specific launch times for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered were revealed in an infographic shared by The Witcher account on X. According to this map, The Witcher 3 Remastered will go live at the following times in these major cities: Los Angeles - 3 AM PDT Mexico City - 4 AM CST Bogotá - 5 AM COT Boston - 6 AM EDT Brasília - 7 AM BRT London - 11 AM BST Algiers - 11 AM WAT Accra - 10 AM GMT Warsaw - 12 PM CEST Cape Town - 12 PM SAST Cairo - 1 PM EEST KYIV - 1 PM EEST Almaty - 3 PM ALMT Singapore - 6 PM SGT Beijing - 6 PM CST Seoul - 7 PM KST Tokyo - 7 PM JST Melbourne - 8 PM AEST While it's common for the timing of game releases to center around US cities, The Witcher 3 Remastered seems to be using noon in Warsaw as its basis for the simultaneous global launch. As developer CD Projekt Red is based in Poland, this makes sense, and it does conveniently lead to the release date remaining the same for every major city. Considering the historical popularity of The Witcher 3, it's safe to say that plenty of fantasy fans and open-world RPG acolytes will be very busy as September draws to a close. Whether staying up late to play on the US West Coast or waking up early on the East Coast, this could be an alluring way to ruin some sleep schedules. Hopefully, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered will live up to the original legacy and successfully whet appetites for the upcoming releases of The Witcher 4 and a planned remake of the first The Witcher game.
