Blizzard confirmed that CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered and Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on Battle.net before year-end, but the company emphasized it has no plans to compete with Steam. Blizzard maintains a selective curation approach, prioritizing games that appeal to its core audience rather than pursuing open self-publishing like Steam or Epic Games Store.
Blizzard Entertainment and CD Projekt Red announced multiple collaborations including a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover for Overwatch featuring cosmetics for characters David and Talia, launching in 2027. Additional partnerships include The Witcher 3 on Battle.net, a Geralt of Rivia cosmetic for Diablo 4, and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition coming to Battle.net in 2026.
CD Projekt Red is adding a chain weapon to The Witcher 3 in the upcoming Songs of the Past DLC, a feature that was technologically impossible during the game's 2015 release but can now be implemented with modern technology. The weapon will offer crowd control and pulling mechanics against new enemy types like Swarmions.
