The Witcher 3 gets a new DLC after 10 years? „Biggest ...
The Game Awards 2025 may bring the announcement of a new story DLC for The Witcher 3, say reports from Poland.
www.gamepressure.comHere’s what’s currently circulating about The Witcher 3 DLC as of 2026.
Brief answer
- Several outlets and insiders have been signaling that CD Projekt Red is developing a new Witcher 3 DLC intended to bridge to The Witcher 4, with rumors of a large new map and new narrative content. However, there has been no official confirmation from CD Projekt Red as of now.
Background and context
- In late 2025 and into 2026, multiple reports and financial briefings suggested “unnamed/secret projects” tied to The Witcher universe, with talk of a substantial 2026 expansion for The Witcher 3 that could connect to The Witcher 4. These are based on investor notes and industry miscellaneous briefings rather than official announcements [sources discussing investor calls and rumors].[1][4][6]
- A number of videos and articles have circulated speculating about Zerkania/Zerrikania-style settings, new regions, and possible new gameplay elements, often naming Fool’s Theory as a potential collaborator or lead developer for the expansion. These remain rumors until confirmed by CD Projekt Red.[2][6][8]
- Some outlets have claimed insiders or analysts expect an official reveal at major events or investor presentations, but official confirmation has not been published by CD Projekt Red.[4][9]
What to watch for
- Official confirmation from CD Projekt Red (CDPR) about a Witcher 3 DLC, its scope (new map, new areas, new narrative arcs), and intended connection to The Witcher 4.
- Details about the development studio, release window, platforms, and whether it’s a paid expansion or tied to next-gen enhancements.
- Statements about how this DLC would fit into the broader Witcher timeline, including any implications for future installments.
Note on reliability
- The current chatter comes from a mix of investor briefings, industry rumors, and fan channels. Until CDPR confirms, treat specifics (regions like Zerkania/Zerrikania, exact release timing, and narrative hooks) as speculative. If you’d like, I can pull updated official statements or summarize the strongest corroborated rumors with dates and sources.
