'The Witcher 3' Might Have One Last Surprise In Store Before Its Sequel

"There's no time limit on releasing expansions for games, but after a certain point, you just stop expecting new DLC. One would think that 11 years is more than enough time for a studio to stop working on new content for a game, but recent rumors point to an expansion on the way for one of the biggest RPGs of the previous decade, and they're looking more believable as they pile up."

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launched in 2015 to widespread acclaim. It would go on to receive multiple expansions that were at least as well received as the base game, including one, Blood and Wine, that's considered by some to be the best part of the entire Witcher series. Now, multiple sources point to yet another DLC coming for the beloved RPG this year."

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launched in 2015 to widespread acclaim and received well-regarded expansions, including Blood and Wine. Rumors of another DLC began circulating in summer 2025 and initially lacked substantiation. Leaker Borys Nieśpielak claimed the studio Fool's Theory is developing a new expansion while also working on a remake of the original Witcher. Industry analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski reported that a paid DLC could be published by May 2026. CD Projekt Red indicated that given current progress, new content hinted in recent calls may release in the coming year and could affect financial results and incentive conditions. CD Projekt Red did not immediately respond to Inverse's request for comment.
