Rumor: The Witcher 3 Will Get New DLC in 2026

[summaraize]

This year, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt celebrated its 10th anniversary, and CD Projekt RED not only extended support for The Witcher 3 mods to PS5 and Xbox consoles but also announced that later this year, cross-platform mod support will be introduced for PC and consoles. But it seems there’s more to come.

According to Polish podcasters Rock and Boris, CD Projekt RED isn’t finished with The Witcher 3. They are reportedly planning a third DLC for the game, set to release in 2026.

Earlier this week CD Projekt RED surprised everyone by dropping what seemed to be our first look at The Witcher 4 gameplay.

CD Projekt Plans New Witcher 3 DLC

This DLC would follow the previous two, Blood & Wine and Hearts of Stone. However, this third DLC is not being developed by CD Projekt RED itself but by Fool’s Theory, a company founded by former key developers from The Witcher 3, including Kuba Rokosz, one of the most important quest designers for The Witcher 3.

Per the video (machine translated): “Let’s move on to our main topic. From the information we have collected, it turns out that the announced, mysterious project by CD Projekt Red, made by Fool’s Theory, is a story DLC for The Witcher 3. This is confirmed information from several independent sources.”

The video added, “What we know is that this is a DLC for The Witcher 3. Based on one piece of information, I can’t confirm it any further, but the earliest it could be is in the future year. We also more or less know the order of the releases: first, mods for consoles, then the DLC for The Witcher 3, then The Witcher 4, and finally, the remake of The Witcher 1.”

It’s not known if this DLC will be free or sold as premium DLC, nor when it will be out.

There is no official confirmation yet about the existence of this third DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so for now, treat this with a grain of salt, as is the case with every rumor. If we had to hazard a guess, this third DLC most likely won’t be as expansive as Boood & Wine or Hearts of Stone, just due to the reason that the developers are all in making The Witcher 4.

In other news, The map size for The Witcher 4 is expected to be comparable to The Witcher 3, with a similar number of quests. We also got our first look at the game via a tech demo, which CDPR was adamant was not the game itself.
