The Witcher 3 may receive a new expansion in 2026, according to rumors

Look at all this bombshell news! According to rumors spread by Polish podcasters, The Witcher 3 may receive a new story expansion in 2026. And not just any cosmetic DLC - we're talking about some serious narrative content!

The information came to light via the Polish podcast Rock & Boriswhere the match commentator Borys Nieśpielak dropped this bombshell. And let's face it, when someone who lives in Poland - literally in the backyard of CD Projekt RED - say something about The Witcherwe pay attention, right?

Fool's Theory in charge

Here's where it gets interesting: the supposed DLC would be by the studio Fool's Theorythe same person responsible for the remake of The Witcher 1 already officially confirmed by CD Projekt RED.

For those who don't know Fool's Theory is not just any random studio out there. The studio is led by Jakub Rokosz - a veteran of the CD Projekt REDwho participated in the creation of The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. In other words, they know what they're doing when it comes to the universe of the wizard Geraldão.

What can we expect from this new expansion?

This DLC should add a new story to the game, so it's not just for cosmetics and other small improvements. We're talking about a third major expansion for The Witcher 3, which would join the already acclaimed Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone.

Considering that this DLC would follow the events of the previous two, it's very likely that we'll see more adventures of the Geralt of Rivia in uncharted territories. And frankly, after almost a decade since its original release, it would be quite a surprise to see the game given a new lease of life like this.

Interesting timing

The timing of this possible expansion is quite curious. CD Projekt Red is working on multiple titles, including The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 (known as Project Orion). Even so, the remake of The Witcher 1 will be launched after The Witcher 4This leaves an interesting window for this DLC to appear.

According to the information provided:

"What we do know is that it's a DLC for The Witcher 3. Based on one piece of information, I can't confirm beyond that, but the earliest possible release would be next year. We also know, more or less, the order of the releases: first, the mods for consoles, then the DLC for The Witcher 3, then The Witcher 4 and, finally, the remake of The Witcher 1."

As we still have major events on the horizon, such as the Gamescom 2025 and The Game Awards 2025The two events could serve as the stage for the announcement. Just imagine the crowd's reaction if this is confirmed at one of these events!

Remember: it's still a rumor

Well, before you start celebrating, it's important to point out that the CD Projekt Red has not yet officially announced the expansion, so consider the information as a RUMOR.

But let's face it, when you consider that the previous DLCs for The Witcher 3 have set a high standard with rich missions, memorable characters and expansive new regions, any possibility of more content gets fans excited.

Impressive longevity

It's amazing to think that The Witcher 3Even almost ten years after its original release, it still manages to generate such a stir. If this rumor turns out to be true, it will be further proof that some games simply don't age - they just get more vintages, like a good vintage wine. Toussaint.

While we await official confirmation from CD Project RED, how about revisiting Kaer Morhen and remember the adventures of our favorite wizard? Who knows, maybe in 2026 we'll all be back at the Skellige Islands or exploring completely new territories!
