In a statement, CD Projekt Red said:

We’re working on the next generation edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

Developed to take advantage of the most powerful gaming hardware, the next-gen edition of the game will feature a range of visual and technical improvements — including ray tracing and faster loading times — across the base game, both expansions, and all extra content.

As of now, no release date has been given by CD Projekt Red for the next-generation version of The Witcher 3 but hopefully, it won’t be too long after we have the next-gen systems in our hands.
