The Witcher 3 Roars Back: Secret DLC in the Works!

Attention, Witcher fans! Hold onto your swords and potions, because CD Projekt might just be conjuring something epic from Kaer Morhen's depths! If whispers in the gaming realm are to be believed, the legendary 2015 hit, The Witcher 3, could soon receive a brand-new expansion. Various reports are lighting up the gaming universe, suggesting that fresh adventures in the Continent are in the works!

It all kicked off last summer when Polish games industry insider Borys Nieśpielak leaked tantalizing details of this supposed project. According to Nieśpielak, the development is in the hands of Fool's Theory, the same studio that's juggling the The Witcher 1 remake. Now, Eurogamer reports that Nieśpielak has doubled down on this, hinting that CD Projekt has been quietly crafting something magical.

'Given our current progress, there's a chance that new content hinted upon in recent calls and reports may see release in the coming year,' teased CD Projekt’s chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz in the latest financial report from November 2025.

Though cryptic, Nielubowicz's statement signals something big could be coming our way! Meanwhile, in a follow-up investor call, CD Projekt's joint studio CEO Michał Nowakowski alluded to an 'other project' by Fool's Theory. Juicy stuff!

Throwing more firewood onto the hype train, Polish analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski speculated an upcoming DLC release by May 2026. Can you feel the anticipation brewing? New content mere months away — sign us up!

So, let's talk implications. More Witcher 3 content isn't just about dredging up nostalgia; it's a brilliant move to re-energize a fanbase as over 60 million players might rush back to rekindle their adventures with Geralt. Could this DLC set the stage for The Witcher 4’s narrative, build excitement, and snag newcomers?

With The Witcher 4's launch not expected until beyond 2026, CD Projekt plans an ambitious six-year roadmap that may even deliver The Witcher 5 and 6. But first, they could tease and appease us with Geralt’s one final ride before the spotlight shifts to Ciri!

So, beware, monsters of the night and shriekers of the dark—Geralt may just ride again!
