Polish analyst provides gasoline to rumors that The Witcher 3 will get new DLC in 2026 to arrange The Witcher 4
It has been 10 years because the debut of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and 9 because the launch of the second and last growth, Blood and Wine. However whereas CD Projekt is now full steam forward on The Witcher 4, there are rumblings—not far more than vibrations, actually—of one thing new coming for Witcher 3.
Ears pricked up following a Strefa Inwestorów report (Google translated) quoting Noble Securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski predicting a Witcher 3 growth for Might 2026.
New Witcher 3 DLC would even be a assured moneymaker. Some fast serviette math: CD Projekt has now bought greater than 60 million copies, and if we assume a DLC attachment price of 20%—roughly the place Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC sat on the finish of 2023—that is 12 million copies at $30 every, or $360 million.
There is a fairly just a few witchers on The Path…
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has bought 60 million copies. As we rejoice #10YearsofTheWitcher3, we wish to take a second to say thanks to everybody who has joined us on the hunt. It has been downright wonderful! ⚔️❤️— @thewitcher.com (@thewitcher.com.bsky.social) 2025-12-23T21:59:39.210Z
Cash apart, dropping new Witcher 3 DLC would even be a fully baller PR transfer. It has been almost a decade since The Witcher video games have been contemporary in thoughts: What higher option to put the collection front-and-center once more than by rolling out a shock Witcher 3 growth, with just a little observe tied to it saying “Witcher 4 subsequent yr?”
Observe additionally that The Witcher 3 remains to be pulling enviable participant numbers, and stays embedded in Steam’s prime 100 most-played and top-selling video games. Common deep reductions little doubt drive the gross sales chart presence, however take a look at these concurrent participant numbers on SteamDB: It is a sport that endures.
However that is the place it will get actually fascinating: This is not really the primary time this rumor has floated to the floor. As famous by PCGamesN earlier this month, leaker Borys Nieśpielak has stated a number of instances that Witcher 3 DLC is in growth at Idiot’s Idea, the studio presently engaged on, amongst different issues, a remake of the unique Witcher. Idiot’s Idea can also be headed up by Jakub Rokosz, beforehand a quest designer on The Witcher 2 and three—not a foul alternative if you wish to make new Witcher 3 quests.
Yet one more factor, since we’re piling it on: CD Projekt introduced in Might that it is bought “another patch” within the works for The Witcher 3, now slated to return out someday in 2026. It is doable that over-optimistic followers are conflating the patch with a full-on growth, nevertheless it may additionally be that CD Projekt has extra cooking than it is letting on, Both approach, regardless of all of the years passed by it is clear the studio is not completed with the sport simply but.
All of that and $2 will get you a cup of espresso, because the saying goes, nevertheless it positive looks like one thing’s happening—or on the very least, that one thing may plausibly be happening. My recommendation? Preserve your expectations low, and hold your eyes on this house in 2026.
