CD Projekt Red is reportedly developing a third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and it could be published this year.
Rumors of another major update to the 2015 hit began circulating since last year, when Polish industry insider Borys Nieśpielak claimed that Fool’s Theory, the studio that is remaking. The Witcher 1was developing the new one Witcher 3 enlargement.
In a recent report from Eurogamer, Nieśpielak repeated his original claim, telling the publication that his information had been verified by “several” independent sources, but had no more information to share about the claim.
However, the insider pointed to a new CDPR earnings call transcript where CFO Piotr Nielubowicz hinted that “new content” for an unnamed game could launch this year, ahead of the studio’s next big game, The Witcher 4.
“Given our current progress, there is a chance that new content hinted at in recent calls and reports may be released in the coming year, which will impact our results and increase the likelihood of achieving the earnings condition for the first phase of the incentive program,” Nielubowicz said.
As seen by IGN, the unnamed project was also mentioned in a follow-up investor call after the financial report, with co-studio head Michał Nowakowski also talking about the “other project” that Fool’s Theory was working on while mentioning the studio’s The Witcher replay.
Adding more fuel to the rumours, after The Game Awards 2025, Polish Noble Securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski published a report saying (via Reddit/Google Translate), “We expect the next paid add-on (DLC) for The Witcher 3 will be published in May 2026.”
Although not confirmed at this time, the theory is that this is suspected Witcher 3 expansion would create events that take place in The Witcher 4which is set to star Ciri.
The Witcher 4 is now in full production, and CDPR has hinted that the game likely won’t launch until 2027.
However, according to Chrzanowski, he predicts that the game will be released in Q4 2027, and 2026 will start its marketing campaign with the release of the new Witcher 3 enlargement.
“We assume sales of 11 million copies at $30 each next year,” Chrzanowski said. “We estimate the production budget at PLN 52 million. The release should kick off the right marketing campaign for The Witcher 4.”
CDPR has also reiterated its plans to release its next trilogy of Witcher game within a six-year time frame, although it has yet to be formally announced The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6.
