New Witcher 3 DLC rumoured as Blood and Wine celebrates 10 years

New Witcher 3 DLC is reportedly in development at Fool's Theory, according to multiple sources familiar with the project. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, the unannounced expansion comes as CD Projekt celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3's beloved Blood and Wine DLC with a special livestream. CD Projekt has not officially confirmed the new DLC reports.

What the leak says

Multiple sources claim that Fool's Theory, the studio currently remaking The Witcher 1 for CD Projekt, is developing the rumoured expansion. The same studio has experience working within The Witcher universe, making them a logical choice for additional content. When contacted about the reports, a CD Projekt spokesperson told Video Games Chronicle that the company "does not comment on rumours or speculation."

The timing of these reports coincides with CD Projekt's anniversary celebration, though the company has given no indication that the livestream will feature any new announcements. The reported DLC would mark the first new content for The Witcher 3 since the game's next-gen update in 2022.

Blood and Wine anniversary stream details

CD Projekt announced a special livestream for May 28 at 8pm GST (5pm CEST), celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion. The stream will feature CD Projekt team members Kacper Niepokólczycki and Magdalena Zych returning to the duchy of Toussaint.

"Join us on May 28th at 5 PM CEST for a special anniversary stream of The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine," CD Projekt said on X. "Together with Kacper Niepokólczycki and Magdalena Zych, we'll return once more to the land of knights, vineyards, and vampires!"

The company is also scheduled to publish its latest earnings results 30 minutes after the stream begins, suggesting a busy day for CD Projekt announcements.

CD Projekt's expanding Witcher universe

CD Projekt is currently developing multiple Witcher projects beyond the rumoured DLC. The company confirmed it's working on The Witcher 4, which showed impressive technical capabilities in recent RTX demonstrations. A remake of the original Witcher game is also in development at Fool's Theory, alongside a multiplayer game set within The Witcher universe.

Last summer, CD Projekt debuted a Witcher 4 tech demo running on PlayStation 5 hardware, though the demonstration focused on technical capabilities rather than gameplay content. The company has been notably quiet about specific release dates for any of these projects.

Why this matters for UAE gamers

The Witcher 3 remains popular among UAE's gaming community, with the game regularly appearing in local gaming store bestseller lists. New DLC content would likely generate significant interest, especially given the game's strong performance on current-generation consoles. Blood and Wine, the expansion being celebrated, won critical acclaim for its substantial content and narrative quality when it launched a decade ago.

UAE players can currently purchase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition, which includes both major expansions, through local retailers and digital storefronts. Any new DLC would likely follow similar distribution patterns for the region.
