- The third rumored expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt supposedly located near Velen
- Former Polish gaming journalist claims game will not be developed in Zerrikania, as previously reported
- Reliable industry expert NateTheHate has also claimed that the DLC is real.
CD Projekt Red is reportedly planning to release a third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before The witcher 4and now a new rumor suggests it will be set in a familiar location.
According to a former Polish gaming journalist, ‘UV o grach’, on YouTube, the rumored downloadable content (DLC) will not be set in Zerrikania, as previously reported, but closer to Velen, the area you travel to after completing White Orchard in The Witcher 3 (via Eurogamer).
The video is in Polish, but several Polish speakers on Reddit have apparently verified the YouTuber’s statement.
Polish speakers have said that the Zerikkania rumors were potentially false or embellished because the original IGN Poland report only mentioned that CDPR had considered an expansion set in the region.
Rumors about a third. witcher 3 The expansion has been building up for some time now. It’s unclear when the expansion will come out, if it’s even real (CDPR hasn’t announced anything yet), but it has been reported that it could launch this year.
NateTheHate, the trusted industry expert, also recently stated that The Witcher 3 The DLC is real in response to a fan, but he was unable to provide more details.
It is also claimed that Fool’s Theory, the studio that is remaking the witcher 1is developing the new witcher 3 expansion, and CDPR CFO Piotr Nielubowicz has also hinted that “new content” for an unnamed game could be released this year.
“Given our current progress, there is a possibility that new content hinted at in recent calls and reports will be released in the coming year, which will impact our results and increase the likelihood of achieving earnings status for the first stage of the incentive program,” Nielubowicz said on an earnings call at the time.
To add more fire to the rumors, 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 It will be launched in May 2026.”
It is speculated that the new witcher 3 The DLC is a kind of prologue that will run until The witcher 4which will be starred by Ciri. The upcoming game has no release date, but CDPR has suggested that it is unlikely to release before 2027.
