The topic resurfaced a few weeks ago via Polish content creator Remigiusz Maciaszek, and later through analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski in an article for the news outlet Strefa Inwestor\u00f3w. When questioned about his predictions, Chrzanowski stated that he was \u201c100% sure\u201d The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt would receive something new soon. Let\u2019s examine what underpins such confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New content coming for The Witcher 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his Strefa Inwestor\u00f3w article, Chrzanowski predicted that The Witcher 3 would receive its third and final DLC in May 2026, coinciding with the game\u2019s eleventh anniversary, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. The expansion would reportedly be priced at \u20ac30 and primarily serve as a launchpad for the marketing campaign of <a href=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/news\/71845-the-witcher-4-bg3\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/news\/71845-the-witcher-4-bg3\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Witcher 4.<\/a> According to other rumors, the DLC would not be developed directly by CD Projekt RED but by Fool\u2019s Theory (The Thaumaturge), a studio also involved in the remake of the original The Witcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eurogamer\u2019s Robert Purchese sought further clarification from Chrzanowski to better understand the source of his certainty that The Witcher 3, and not another CD Projekt RED title, would receive new content this year. \u201cI&#8217;m 100 percent certain CDPR will release significant new content this year,\u201d Chrzanowski said, \u201cas the incentive program is still 700 million PLN short (approximately $194 million).\u201d This incentive program, mentioned during the studio\u2019s most recent investor call, primarily targets senior CD Projekt RED employees and is designed to reward strong performance with substantial bonuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tw3ng-presspreviews-pc-geralt-and-ciri-rgb-en-3840x2160-165da197a575-scaled.png\" alt=\"the witcher 3\" class=\"wp-image-72098\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c90 percent of the time it&#8217;s pointed to a Witcher 3 expansion,\u201d Chrzanowski explained. \u201cThis is a natural direction in terms of the required revenue scale. However, a Witcher-themed game like The Thaumaturge (Fool&#8217;s Theory&#8217;s latest production) would also be possible. Remember, Fool&#8217;s Theory was built on a foundation of Witcher veterans.\u201d While Chrzanowski\u2019s reasoning appears sound, it should nonetheless be treated with caution until CD Projekt RED provides official confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/witcher-3-expansion-rumours-analyst-100-percent-certain-cd-projekt-red-will-release-significant-new-content-this-year\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/witcher-3-expansion-rumours-analyst-100-percent-certain-cd-projekt-red-will-release-significant-new-content-this-year\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Eurogamer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":72096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[77],"class_list":["post-72095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-the-witcher","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72095"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72100,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72095\/revisions\/72100"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
