The Witcher 3 Free DLC Includes New Armour And Quest

This week’s The Witcher 3 free DLC pack has been shared by CD Projekt RED on Twitter. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is up to its sixth week of free DLC packs. Likely coming this Thursday, players can expect this week’s Witcher 3 free DLC pack to include:
- A new Witcher quest called “Contract: Skellige’s Most Wanted.”
- The Skellige Armour Set
CD Projekt RED shared an image of the two DLCs on Twitter, hinting at what players will be in for. Apparently, the new Witcher contract will feature at least one rock troll, which in my opinion is fantastic. Any quest that involves one of those hilariously adorable critters is a quest I want to do!
As for the armour, it looks pretty standard. It’s not Witcher gear, but it looks like Geralt will also be able to dress up Roach with matching horse armour, so that’s something.
CD Projekt RED also said on Twitter that anybody who did not get last week’s free DLC pack will get it this week.

Last week’s Witcher 3 free DLC pack included a pretty but revealing dress for Triss (which those who’ve read the books will know Triss would never wear) and a new Scavenger Hunt quest for a new set of Witcher gear, the Wolf School Gear.
Patch 1.05 is also being released on consoles this week, with patch 1.07 set to come soon for PC. It’s a bit shorter than previous patches have been, but rest assured that CD Projekt RED have promised the next patch will be much larger.
- Gold will no longer reset beyond 65535
- Fixes lack of interaction with Roche on Oxenfurt Bridge in the quest ‘Get Junior’
- Geralt’s clothes will no longer be wet after leaving the menu
- The gate in the crypt now works correctly during the quest ‘Scavenger Hunt: Viper School Gear’
- Fixes the endless loading screen when fighting the Ice Giant during the quest ‘Lord of Undvik’
- Mutagen bonuses will now be saved properly.
- Potion of Clearance will no longer be automatically placed into the quick slot if player runs out of other edibles
- Fixes issue where some skills were not removed properly by Potion of Clearance
- Improves stability in gameplay and the UI

Embracer Job Losses Continue as New World Interactive is Hit

New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

New PS Plus Essential Game Has Great Free DLC

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
