The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Could Be Getting More DLC

A recent rumor suggests that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt could get a new story DLC in 2026. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released two DLCs almost 10 years ago, which were highly successful, though the game has since remained dormant in terms of new content—so players might want to hold their breath if the rumors prove to be true.

A lot has already been said about CD Projekt Red’s massively popular RPG The Witcher 3, though it seems like the conversations about it never really faded. The third entry in Geralt’s franchise represented such a milestone for the video game industry that even 10 years later, it has been incredibly difficult to replicate. The game left a mark on a gaming community that still praises and replays the captivating story of Geralt’s tireless search for Ciri. Following the game’s success, CD Projekt launched two DLCs, one in 2015 and the other in 2016, both becoming massive hits as well. While The Witcher 3 doesn’t seem to need much to stay relevant in the industry, a new rumor may be good news for fans hoping to see Geralt on a new adventure.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has continued to be a standard for RPGs, and the 10-year anniversary is the perfect time to revisit.

As reported by podcasters Rock and Boris, a third major DLC expansion may be coming to The Witcher 3 in 2026. Apparently, some of CD Projekt Red’s future plans include a mysterious project that’s likely a new story DLC developed by Fool’s Theory—which the podcasters claimed has been confirmed by “several independent sources.” They didn’t provide any specific details, like what the story of the new expansion is about, but they did say the DLC could arrive in 2026.

The podcasters also revealed a release order for CD Projekt Red’s upcoming games, which places The Witcher 3‘s new DLC before the highly anticipated releases of The Witcher 4 and the Witcher 1 remake—which, according to the rumor, will be the last to release. It’s worth mentioning that this is just a rumor and no official confirmation has been provided yet, though it’s definitely a reason for fans to be excited.

The Witcher 3‘s DLCs set a high bar for story expansions—even for itself. Both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine introduced significant improvements to the base game, including new quests, characters, features, and highly engaging new storylines. Blood and Wine even added a whole new playable region called Toussaint, with more than 30 hours of gameplay that almost feels like a new game. While the community waits to see if the DLC rumors are true, expectations will definitely be high.
