- The analyst who previously predicted The Witcher 3 DLC has reiterated their statement.
- CDPR needs to meet a certain incentive goal, and it will release new content for that.
- The DLC is more likely, but the studio could also release a small-scale title instead.
The Witcher 3 base game is certainly one of the best RPGs ever developed. Its expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, are exceptional DLCs that feel like two separate games on their own, and we could be getting more.
Previously, a Polish analyst stated that CDPR is working on another The Witcher 3 DLC. Now, they have reiterated the previous report, claiming that they are 100% sure that the expansion is real and will indeed be released in 2026.
Why it matters: All reports point out that the new content could be a new paid add-on expansion, and if it’s anything remotely close to the previous DLCs scope, fans of the franchise are in for a massive treat.
Eurogamer reached out to the analyst, Mateusz Chrzanowski, to confirm the authenticity of their recent report. They stated that their information comes from a mix of publicly available sources and conversations with CDPR.
I’m 100 percent certain CDPR will release significant new content this year, as the incentive program is still 700 million PLN short.
– Mateusz Chrzanowski
Chrzanowski says that CDPR has an incentive program that it needs to meet. To meet the requirement the the studio has to make PLN 2bn (£412m) cumulative net profit between 2023 and 2026, and is still short of it.
To meet the first threshold of this program, the studio needs to each a certain goal, and it needs to release new content for that, and therefore it has planned to release a new DLC for its critically acclaimed The Witcher 3.
While the expansion is more likely, Chrzanowski says there could be a smaller-scale game instead. Nonetheless, we are definitely getting something from CDPR soon before the Witcher 4’s 2027 expected release.
