Rumors Surround a New Paid Expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
CD Projekt Red's latest project, The Witcher 4, may have been overshadowed by whispers of an impending expansion pack for its highly acclaimed predecessor, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. According to recent reports and statements from the game's developers, it seems that a new paid content is indeed in the works.
The news emerged after Polish leaker Borys Nieลpielak initially reported on the project months ago, claiming that Fool's Gold, the studio tasked with remaking the original Witcher game, was working on an expansion. More recently, CD Projekt Red's chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz hinted at a new release in his earnings call in November 2025, stating that it could have a significant impact on the company's financial results.
Polish securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski further fueled the rumors by predicting that CDPR will launch the expansion in May 2026, which would coincide with the marketing campaign for The Witcher 4. While these claims are still unconfirmed, they wouldn't be entirely out of character for CD Projekt Red, a studio known for supporting its flagship franchises with significant expansions.
In fact, the company has already supported The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with two major expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine, which have contributed to the game's enduring popularity. It would come as no surprise if CDPR were to release another expansion pack that lays groundwork for its next installment, potentially even using it as a marketing tool to generate buzz around The Witcher 4.
With the game's tenth anniversary approaching in May 2025, this new expansion could provide a timely opportunity to revisit some of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's memorable content and characters. Whether these rumors are true or not, one thing is certain โ any news about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will undoubtedly generate excitement among fans before the release of its next installment.

. I mean, we already got two massive expansions for Wild Hunt and they still managed to sell like crazy. But if CDPR is looking at releasing another one now, just because The Witcher 4 is coming out soon? It feels a bit lazy to me... Like, okay, you're gonna make us wait another year for your new game, but here's some extra content to keep us occupied in the meantime 
. Don't get me wrong, I love The Witcher series too, but if it's just gonna be some token stuff to pad out the sales...
they should just bring it out already 
its been ages since we got some new content for wild hunt and the hype for witcher 4 is building up 
might as well give us somethin to play while we wait 
It's always mind-blowing to see CD Projekt Red dive into their flagship games with more content, it just shows how much love they have for their fans. I mean, who doesn't want more of Geralt and Ciri in our lives? 
And can you imagine the marketing potential for The Witcher 4 if this expansion comes out as planned? It's like a win-win for everyone involved! 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be released sooner rather than later, but we know CD Projekt Red likes to take their time with these things. Either way, I'll be eagerly awaiting the news and will probably spend every waking moment replaying The Witcher 3 until I get the new expansion. 
it's not surprising that cd projekt red would do something like this again, especially with the anniversary coming up. and can u imagine how epic an expansion pack would be for wild hunt? like, they could bring back some of the old characters or create new ones... i'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it 
. Plus, a new expansion would be perfect timing for the 10th anniversary celebrations in May '25. Can't wait to see what's in store! 
The rumors are getting me hyped, but also kinda disappointed at the same time... 
A new expansion would be awesome, but it's like we're not even getting a new story with it. Still, I guess it's better than nothing. Can't wait to see what Fool's Gold comes up with! 
. And who knows, maybe this will even get some casual players back in the game... I'm kinda hyped about this myself 
.
It's like they're trying to milk this game for all it's worth and I am HERE FOR IT. 
I've already sunk so many hours into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, just waiting for more adventures in Geralt's world... 
. a new expansion pack for wild hunt? sounds like just another way to milk some cash from their best-seller, you know? cdprojeckt red's already made bank off the first two expansions - hearts of stone & blood & wine. they can do it again 
. let's not get too carried away here...
I feel like CD Projekt Red is putting a lot of pressure on themselves to deliver another amazing expansion for The Witcher 3. They've already given us so much with Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine, it's hard to imagine what they could do next 
. What do you guys think? Should we be excited or are these just false rumors?
. I mean, why not release it now and make fans happy while we wait for the next game? 
I'm literally shaking thinking about it! Another expansion pack for The Witcher 3? That's like, a dream come true for us hardcore fans 
. What do you guys think?! Should we be salty about the rumors or just chill and enjoy the speculation?
