A new video reveals a strange Easter egg hidden in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen update that refers to a series of digits that has long perplexed Cyberpunk 2077 enthusiasts. The Easter egg is just one example of the additional material included in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen update, which also saw CD Projekt Red's hit action RPG receive an astounding graphical overhaul to bring it in pace with contemporary releases.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen update, which was originally intended to release in 2021 but was postponed, adds additional content, graphical changes, and quality-of-life improvements to the game. When it was first released in 2015, The Witcher 3 was praised by gamers and critics alike for its powerful narrative and open-ended gameplay. Players took control of Geralt of Rivia as the eponymous Witcher unravelled the truth behind the dead warriors of the Wild Hunt. While the 7-year-old game's fresh aesthetic overhaul has helped revitalise it, The Witcher 3's poor performance on PC following the update has left some players unhappy.

In a new YouTube video, user xLetalis discovers a secret hidden in The Witcher 3's new DLC that echoes the FF:06:B5 riddle that has perplexed Cyberpunk 2077 fans for years. The series of numbers have appeared on sculptures across Night City, leaving gamers bewildered as to its true meaning, but its surprise arrival on The Witcher 3's Continent is sure to intensify the mystery. In the video, xLetalis travels to the Destroyed Bastion and flips a series of switches, summoning an Earth Elemental that can be destroyed to uncover a doorway. Players can enter the portal to reach an area with multiple Specters and a mystery sculpture on the wall displaying the same symbol as Cyberpunk 2077's FF:06:B5 statues.

Fans of The Witcher 3 expressed their delight in the comments section over the Easter egg tying the two popular games. Some readers wondered if the presence of an Uroboros serpent on the sculpture could reveal anything, while others remarked that it resembled the insignia on Regis' gloves. One commenter remarked that Geralt's dialogue in the room with the symbol changes depending on whether players choose Yennefer or Triss, demonstrating the game's outstanding attention to detail.

This enigmatic Easter egg is sure to keep CD Projekt Red fans guessing as they try to figure out the connection between the developer's two most popular games. Fortunately, for gamers who find understanding this enigma too stressful, the new option to pet Geralt's horse Roach included in the update is the ideal way to relax.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
