Rumors suggest The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt might receive an unexpected new DLC nearly ten years after its initial release. According to Polish gaming podcast Rock and Boris, a third major expansion is reportedly in development at Fool’s Theory – the studio currently working on The Witcher 1 Remake – with a potential 2026 release window.
While CD Projekt has yet to confirm these reports, the speculation has generated significant excitement among fans. If accurate, this would likely be a smaller-scale DLC, potentially bundled with a free update. The choice of developer appears strategic: Fool’s Theory employs numerous veterans of CD Projekt’s games, ensuring deep familiarity with the franchise’s design philosophy.
This rumored expansion reinforces CD Projekt’s ongoing commitment to the Witcher series, even as development continues on The Witcher 4. The studio seems determined to maintain the franchise’s momentum while bridging the gap between major releases.
Originally released in May 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt stands as one of gaming’s most acclaimed RPGs. Developed with REDengine 3, it captivated players with its vast open world, richly woven narrative, and memorable characters, all drawing deeply from Central and Northern European mythology. Players assume the role of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter navigating a war-ravaged land of political schemes and ancient folklore in search of his missing adopted daughter.
The game has enjoyed remarkable longevity through numerous updates and ports to platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The enhanced “Complete Edition” introduced visual and gameplay improvements, introducing the epic adventure to new generations of players. As of May 2025, The Witcher 3 has surpassed 60 million copies sold worldwide, cementing its place among history’s best-selling video games.
Currently, neither CD Projekt nor Fool’s Theory has officially addressed these rumors. Fans will need to wait for confirmation, which may come through official announcements, future gaming events, or direct developer communications.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.
