Witcher 3 Grounded Griffin

You've got to hand it to CD Projekt Red. The Polish developer's just detailed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's newest patch, and it's sounding superb. Addressing some of the title's biggest remaining complaints, update 1.07 introduces a new movement mode for Geralt, player item storage, and even removes the weight of alchemy and crafting components, so you won't have to do anywhere near as much rummaging to sort your inventory out.

The new 'movement response mode' for our grizzly hero sounds especially interesting, as many have expressed displeasure with how the wise Witcher controls. What's more, the patch also promises more inventory sorting options, tweaks to Roach's behaviour, and performance optimisation. Great stuff.

However, that's not all. The studio has stated that it's still working on more content for the upcoming patch, so the notes that we've included below aren't even final. That said, because of the work that the developer's putting into update 1.07, there won't be any free downloadable content release this week.
