The Witcher 3 is over 10 years old, and one of CDPR’s finest games (perhaps even the best game of all time). Now, it seems it’s getting a DLC, which is to be announced at today’s The Game Awards show, or so claims Borys Nieśpielak, a Polish leaker familiar with CDPR.
Nieśpielak first made claims of an impending The Witcher 3 DLC back during the summer, though nothing came of it throughout the rest of the year. Now, he is certain the DLC is in the works and that The Game Awards are the perfect place to announce it.
“I bet this is the best time to announce this DLC,” Nieśpielak said during the Dec. 11 episode of the Rock i Borys Podcast. “I would be surprised if it wasn’t announced now,” he added. Nieśpielak went on to say that this is no longer just speculation on his part, but that it’s been “confirmed… with several other sources… with one of the biggest [sources], so to speak.”
“This is a sure thing, this DLC for The Witcher 3,” he said.
The Witcher 3 released all the way back in 2015, over ten years ago. It got two expansion packs, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, as well as over a dozen free smaller DLC, such as a new mission, items, and so on. It would be unprecedented for a company to revisit its decade-old title and release a new DLC, though Gearbox did do something similar for Borderlands 2 to tie it in with the release of Borderlands 3.
My assumption is that this will be a free, small-scale DLC that ties The Witcher 3 in with The Witcher 4, probably explaining (at least in some capacity) what drove Ciri to take the mutations and become a fully-fledged witcher, given that she already has tremendous power stemming from her heritage as a Child of the Elder Blood.
It’d be interesting and revitalize The Witcher 3, which nevertheless remains alive and healthy and still enjoyed by countless players.
