"A post from CharlieIntel reports that the DLC will be "expanding on already existing areas and reusing assets," while Polish insider UV o grach made some similar comments on a livestream, referring to reusing assets and filling in blanks on a map."
"With Witcher 3 being set around Temeria, Redania, and Skellige, and Witcher 4 taking place at least partially in the far northern kingdom of Kovir and Poviss, it makes sense for the DLC to remain somewhere in the northern states."
"Industry insiders have suggested that the potential Witcher 3 DLC is motivated by CD Projekt Red's need to hit certain sales goals in order to trigger financial incentives for employees. Analysts have said that an upcoming expansion could cost as much as $30, and may be targeted for a May 2026 release to mark the game's 11th anniversary."
Insider reports suggest CD Projekt Red is developing a Witcher 3 DLC intended to connect the events of Witcher 3 with the upcoming Witcher 4. Rather than introducing new locations like the eastern Zerrikania, the expansion will reuse existing assets and expand familiar areas in Temeria and Redania, maintaining proximity to the northern kingdoms of Kovir and Poviss where Witcher 4 partially takes place. The DLC is anticipated to cost approximately $30 and release around May 2026, coinciding with Witcher 3's 11th anniversary. Industry analysts suggest the expansion may help CD Projekt Red meet sales targets to trigger employee financial incentives. Meanwhile, Witcher 4 development continues with no expected release before 2027, and a planned cross-platform mod support update for Witcher 3 has been delayed from late 2025 to 2026.
