Ten years after the release of Blood and Wine, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt has not said its last word. While CD Projekt Red is working on the continuation of the saga, a new narrative DLC is resurfacing in the news. For the moment, the studio has not made anything official. However, several elements suggest that this extension does indeed exist, and above all that it could arrive as early as 2026.
The Witcher 3, a 2026 DLC which could be released as early as September
According to information recently relayed, the DLC release window could be closer than expected. A Polish analyst particularly mentions an exit around the third quarter of the year. Specifically, September seems to be the most likely time. A strategic period to reach players after the summer and before the big end-of-year releases. This timing would also avoid direct competition with other video game giants.
An exit designed to avoid the shadow of GTA 6
One of the most interesting elements concerns the calendar. The Witcher 3 DLC is not expected to be released at the same time as GTA 6, which is also expected in 2026. An analyst explains: “I haven’t included The Witcher 3 downloadable content in my model, but like everyone else, I assume that CD Projekt will try to release it before the new GTA release date to avoid this difficult period for other titles. So, definitely before November, probably around the third quarter. I think September is the best In the summer, the players are on vacation, and September is a good back-to-school period. However, things could change in two or three months.
A DLC not yet official but already highly anticipated
Despite this information, one point remains essential: CD Projekt Red has still not officially confirmed the existence of this DLC. This does not prevent rumors from multiplying. Several sources close to the project mention an extension in preparation, intended to make the link with the rest of the saga. This type of content would help revive interest in the game, while preparing the ground for the next opus.
The Witcher 3, a success that continues ten years later
Released in 2015, The Witcher 3 remains one of the most notable RPGs of recent years. Its universe, quests and characters continue to attract new players. A new DLC would represent a rare opportunity to dive back into this universe, with new content. If this extension is confirmed, it could further extend the longevity of a game which already seems to have survived the years without losing its impact.
