Polish insiders from the Rock and Boris podcast have sparked excitement among The Witcher fans with claims that a new DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is slated for release in 2026.
According to their sources, the expansion is being developed by Fool’s Theory, the studio currently working on the highly anticipated remake of the original The Witcher game.
Unlike previous DLCs like Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, which expanded Geralt of Rivia’s adventures, this new content is rumored to serve a grander purpose. Insiders suggest it will act as a narrative bridge, connecting the events of The Witcher 3 to the upcoming The Witcher 4. The latter is expected to shift the spotlight to Ciri, the ashen-haired sorceress and Geralt’s adopted daughter, who appears poised to take up the sword as the series’ new protagonist.
This move signals a significant transition for the franchise. Geralt, the grizzled monster hunter who has defined the series for over a decade, may finally be hanging up his silver blade for good.
The focus on Ciri aligns with CD Projekt Red’s earlier hints about exploring new perspectives in the Witcher universe, with her unique powers and complex destiny making her a natural fit to carry the saga forward.
