Rumors Suggest a 2026 Release for New The Witcher 3 Expansion Following CD Projekt Red’s Recent Tease

Whispers are swirling about a potential new expansion for the decade-old RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, with a well-known Polish leaker suggesting that CD Projekt Red may have dropped hints about it.

According to reports, insider Borys Nieśpielak has been asserting for months that a surprise expansion for The Witcher 3 is on the horizon. After the anticipated content didn’t appear in 2025, Nieśpielak stated that “several” independent sources have confirmed the existence of this expansion.

This new content is reportedly being developed by Fool’s Theory, the studio working on the upcoming remake of The Witcher. If this expansion is indeed in the works, it’s likely to be more of a light offering rather than a full-fledged experience like the acclaimed Blood and Wine DLC, especially considering Fool’s Theory has a lot on its plate.

Recently, Polish analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski speculated that this expansion could serve as a bridge to The Witcher 4, which will feature a new protagonist, Ciri, and is expected to launch around May 2026.

Nieśpielak also pointed to a recent financial report from CD Projekt Red, where joint CEO Michał Nowakowski made a comment that could lend weight to the expansion rumors. He mentioned that there’s a possibility of new content being released in the coming year, which could positively impact the company’s financial results.

While Nowakowski didn’t explicitly announce a 2026 expansion for The Witcher 3, his remarks have fueled speculation. This situation is a classic mix of rumors and speculation, but it’s clear that there’s more than just smoke here. The potential for this mystery content to be something else entirely exists, but given CD Projekt Red’s history, they might just be gearing up for one more surprise.
