The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has captivated players for over a decade with its rich narrative, memorable characters, and expansive world. Even with the release of the Next-Gen update that enhanced the game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and added features on PC, updates have grown infrequent. However, there may be exciting developments on the horizon that could once again draw players into the world of The Witcher next year.
Exciting Future for The Witcher 3
Reports suggest a major DLC expansion for The Witcher 3 is in the works, slated for release in May 2026 to coincide with the game’s 11th anniversary. This expansion, expected to retail at $30, might serve as a prelude to The Witcher IV, anticipated for a late 2027 release. Analysts predict this expansion could bridge the storyline between the two games, potentially exploring new chapters in Ciri’s journey as a Witcher.
Rumors and Speculations
While a new DLC for a game over a decade old may seem improbable, this isn’t the first we’ve heard of such plans. In June, gaming industry insider Borys Nieśpielak hinted at an additional story DLC being developed by Fool’s Theory, a team of series veterans currently working on a remake of the original Witcher game. This project has yet to be officially announced by CDPR.
Anticipation Builds
Fans of Andrzej Sapkowski’s universe are eager for another adventure with Geralt before he potentially passes the torch to Ciri. The prospect of new content reignites enthusiasm among the community, eager to explore more of the Continent.
