‘The Witcher 3’ Might Have One Extra Journey Left In It

CD Projekt Crimson is presently at work on The Witcher 4, however the Polish studio might also have one thing deliberate for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Latest rumors have been floating round on-line of a brand new paid enlargement for the action-RPG, which turned a decade outdated in Might 2025. These claims first got here from Polish leaker Borys Nieśpielak, who alleged months in the past the add-on is being made by Idiot’s Gold, the studio tasked with remaking the unique Witcher sport. Nieśpielak initially mentioned to anticipate an announcement throughout final December’s Recreation Awards, which didn’t pan out. However he not too long ago instructed Eurogamer of a remark made by CD Projekt’s chief monetary officer Piotr Nielubowicz which will help his unique reporting.

“There’s a probability that new content material hinted upon in current calls and reviews may even see launch within the coming yr,” Nielubowicz mentioned in CDP’s earnings call from November 2025. Whereas obscure, he indicated that content material would have an effect on the corporate’s monetary outcomes and “enhance the chance of reaching the earnings situation for the primary stage of the motivation program.”

Including additional gas to the fireplace, in mid-December after the Recreation Awards, Polish securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski predicted that CDPR will launch the enlargement in Might 2026, which is able to then “kick off the precise advertising and marketing marketing campaign for The Witcher 4.”

Earlier than transferring on to Cyberpunk 2077, CDPR supported The Witcher 3 with two massive expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine. If CDPR is returning to it, it is sensible: the sport’s been a constant moneymaker over time (significantly when the studio was rehabilitating Cyberpunk), and a current-gen model launched again in 2022. This additionally wouldn’t be the primary sport to get an enlargement laying groundwork for the sequel; earlier than Borderlands 3 got here out in 2019, Gearbox turned out to have yet another enlargement for Borderlands 2 up its sleeve that bridged these two video games.

We’ll know in a pair months how true these rumors are—however whether or not they’re or not, it’ll doubtless get folks enjoying The Witcher 3 once more earlier than the Ciri-led sequel finally rears its head.
