Recently, rumors have emerged about the development of a third expansion for the acclaimed video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, aimed at a planned release for May 2026. According to reports from IGN, the project is in an advanced stage of development.
Is The Witcher 4 on the horizon?
The new expansion would be set in a desert environment, which could correspond to the region of Zerrikania, and possibly will serve as a narrative link to the anticipated The Witcher 4, which is planned for 2027.
Since the last expansion, Blood and Wine, was released, ten years have passed, adding a sense of nostalgia and excitement to the possibility of this new content. The expansion is expected to be comparable in size to Blood and Wine, so players will be able to enjoy a rich experience in story and exploration, available only on the most powerful platforms, such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Fool’s Theory, the studio currently working on the remake of the first game in the saga, would be responsible for developing this expansion, which can provide an additional incentive for players looking for a renewed and high-quality experience. However, as is common in the video game industry, it is essential to take this news with caution until an official announcement is made by CD Projekt RED.
The possibility that this expansion could be a spin-off, like a The Witcher 3.5, has also been mentioned, which opens up a range of interesting narrative options. We will be on the lookout for any updates and official announcements that confirm this anticipated expansion of The Witcher universe.
