The Witcher 3 Secret Expansion Rumors Swirl, After CD Projekt Hints at ‘New Content’

“Given our current progress, there is a chance that new content hinted upon in recent calls and reports may see release in the coming year,” CD Projekt chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said in the company’s latest financial report, published in November 2025. Without naming the content, Nielubowicz went on to suggest that it could have “an impact” on the company’s upcoming results — potentially suggesting it would arrive relatively soon, and be relatively meaninful in scope.

This isn’t the only official mention of an unnamed project, either. In a follow-up investor call following the aforementioned results, joint studio CEO Michał Nowakowski also made mention of an “other project” that Fool’s Theory was working on, in the same breath as mentioning its The Witcher 1 remake and support for the upcoming The Witcher 4.

Yet another whisper of the project came just before the end of last year from Polish analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski, who said he expected “the next paid add-on (DLC) for The Witcher 3 to be released in May 2026.” All of this points to CD Projekt, via Fool’s Theory, having something new for The Witcher 3 fans in just a few months’ time — an exciting prospect, and one that would make some sense.

As “full production” on The Witcher 4 continues, CD Projekt has cautioned fans not to expect its launch in 2026, as the company plans an ambitious six-year roadmap in which it will also launch The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6. Before all of that, there’s a window this year for even more Witcher, and a fresh slice of content that could potentially help bridge the gap.

A new DLC feels like a smart idea to reawaken lapsed interest ahead of the series’ next chapter, via extra content sold to The Witcher 3’s existing audience of more than 60 million players. This content could be used as a reason to sell the game anew, to bring fresh fans to the decade-old role-player, and potentially set up plot points to be expanded upon in The Witcher 4.

Finally, of course, it could offer fans one last oppurtunity to play as Geralt — before the franchise’s next trilogy focuses on Ciri. So, one last adventure?
