Further hints point to Witcher 3 expansion in 2026

Following analyst predictions of DLC bridging to The Witcher 4, new indications suggest CD Projekt Red is planning an expansion for the 2015 game, potentially launching in 2026 amid sequel preparations.

Building on December 2025 forecasts from analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski, who predicted a paid add-on for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in May 2026 as a prologue to The Witcher 4, recent developments indicate the studio is advancing such plans. The 11-year-old title, with over 60 million copies sold, could see fresh content before the sequel's expected 2027 release.

No official announcement has come from CD Projekt Red, but the speculation underscores the game's lasting appeal and the studio's pattern of post-launch support. This potential expansion would extend adventures in Geralt's world, easing the transition to the new trilogy starring Ciri.

Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski shared the update on X, expressing gratitude for fan support while emphasizing the studio's focus on development. The event is set for December 11, 2025.

A Polish analyst has forecasted that CD Projekt will release new paid DLC for The Witcher 3 in May 2026, serving as a bridge to the upcoming The Witcher 4. This expansion is expected to connect the plots of the two games, with marketing for the sequel starting simultaneously. The prediction comes amid updates on CD Projekt's broader development slate.

Artur Ganszyniec, lead story designer on the 2007 game The Witcher, recently completed a playthrough and revealed that the story team was minimally involved in its final cutscene, calling it a mistake. This decision, made by higher-ups at CD Projekt Red, created inconsistencies that influenced the narrative direction of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Ganszyniec also noted that elements like the Wild Hunt will need adjustments in the upcoming remake due to evolving lore.
