CD Projekt RED's Marcin Momot has officially announced that the highly anticipated and suitably dense patch 1.7 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available later this week on all platforms.
Besides the usual bug fixes, performance improvements and some other tweaks related to the quest missions, patch 1.07 aims to introduce many new features relating to gameplay, such as alternative movements for Geralt, the ability to highlight formulas and diagrams in order to make it immediately apparent which ingredients you're missing when in shops, and much more.
You can read the full change-log list below the pic. In addition, Momot has announced that - given the massive importance of this patch - this week the free content update for the game will not be made available.
- A new, alternative (optional) movement response mode for Geralt.
- A player stash for storing items, available in various locations throughout the game. Stash locations are marked on the player's map.
- Crafting and alchemy components no longer add to the overall inventory weight.
- Books are now placed in a dedicated tab in the Inventory and books that have already been read are properly grayed out.
- Multiple sorting options are now available in the Inventory.
- Alchemy formulas and crafting diagrams can be "pinned", meaning all components and ingredients required to make them will be conveniently marked in the Shop panel.
- Dozens of fixes for quest related issues, both major and minor.
- A few performance enhancements, including the optimization of FX, scenes and general gameplay.
- Various improvements to horse behavior.
