Geralt's Not Done Yet: The Witcher 3 Might Get New DLC in 2026

A new report claims The Witcher 3 could get fresh paid DLC in May 2026. Here’s what’s been said, what CDPR won’t confirm, and what to expect next.

The Witcher 3 new DLC rumour points to May 2026

Geralt has supposedly retired about 14 times now. And yet, here we are again.

A new report says CD Projekt Red could release a fresh, paid expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in May 2026. It's not confirmed, and CDPR is doing its usual "no comment on rumors" routine. Still, this one has names, dates, and a paper trail.

A Polish analyst expects a new paid Witcher 3 DLC in May 2026
A Polish insider previously claimed the content is being made at Fool's Theory
CD Projekt's CFO hinted new content may release in "the coming year", but CDPR won't comment on rumors.

What’s being reported (and where it’s coming from)

The claim is simple: a new paid Witcher 3 add-on could land in May 2026.

VGC says the date comes from Polish Noble Securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski
The timing is reported via a Polish site covering the analyst note
The wording used is “next paid add-on (DLC)” and the month is May 2026

If this is true, it would be wild mostly because Witcher 3 is ancient in game years (it launched in 2015). But it also makes a certain kind of sense: big games take ages now, and a smaller release keeps interest (and money) flowing while the next main thing cooks.

The insider angle: Fool’s Theory keeps popping up

This rumour didn’t start with the analyst.

A Polish insider, Borys Nieśpielak, claimed last year that a new expansion is secretly in development
He said the work is being done at Fool’s Theory
That studio is also remaking The Witcher 1 for CD Projekt

VGC also notes that Eurogamer followed up with Nieśpielak. He reportedly said his info was verified by “several” independent sources.

None of this equals confirmation. But it does explain why the story keeps refusing to die. It’s not just “a guy on the internet said so”. It’s multiple people pointing at the same studio, plus a specific release window being floated.

CDPR’s own hint (and the very careful non-denial)

The closest thing to “CDPR said something” is buried in a financial comment.

CD Projekt’s CFO Piotr Nielubowicz said there is a chance that new content hinted at in calls and reports may release in “the coming year”
He added it could impact results

And then the predictable bit:

A CDPR spokesperson told VGC the company does not comment on rumour or speculation

So, no confirmation. But also not a hard “that’s fake”. Which is how these things tend to drag on until someone posts a teaser image of a wolf medallion and the internet collapses for 48 hours.

If you’re tracking CDPR’s bigger moves lately, here’s our take on CD Projekt selling GOG and what that might say about the company’s priorities.

What this could mean for UAE players

Assuming the May 2026 window is real, here’s the practical part.

Timing: May releases usually hit UAE stores the same day as other regions, just adjusted for Gulf Standard Time
Platforms: Nothing official was named in the report, so assume the usual suspects (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) until stated otherwise
Price: Also not confirmed — and “paid DLC” can mean anything from small story pack to chunky expansion
Best case: It lands as a clean add-on that doesn’t break saves, mods, or your will to live

And if your real goal is Witcher 4 news, this rumour fits the same pattern: CDPR is working on multiple Witcher projects, including The Witcher 4, and it previously showed a tech demo built with Unreal Engine 5 — with a reminder that it wasn’t gameplay.
(Also, Witcher 4 skipped The Game Awards 2025. Yes, we were also annoyed. Read that here.)

Is the new Witcher 3 expansion confirmed?

No. The report is based on an analyst expectation and earlier inside claims. CDPR has not announced a new expansion and says it won't comment on rumors.
