Will 2026 be the year we see new content for The Witcher 3?

The speculations about a possible downloadable content for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have grown in recent months, driven by statements from CD Projekt and leaks pointing to its release in 2026. The developer has set a target of 475 million euros in net profits accumulated between 2023 and 2026, suggesting that a new DLC could represent a significant opportunity, estimated to generate around 150 million euros in revenue.

I neither confirm nor deny

In a recent talk with investors, CD Projekt discussed its ambitious expectations for 2026, indicating that after having completed eleven of the sixteen quarters of the plan, there are still 166 million euros needed to reach its goal. The company has hinted that new content could be announced soon, with the possibility of being released this year, which would have a significant impact on its financial results.

Some leaks suggest that the DLC for The Witcher 3 will be released in 2026. However, CD Projekt has refused to comment on the rumors, stating that it will make announcements at the most appropriate time for the company. Although analysts are optimistic about the profitability of this project, there are also technical complications, such as the fact that the game engine used in The Witcher 3 is outdated, which could complicate the development of the new content.

While the rumors of a presentation at recent events, such as the Game Awards, did not materialize, there is a palpable expectation in the gaming community. An successful DLC could not only close the story of Geralt of Rivia but also serve as a springboard for the marketing campaign of The Witcher 4, a title that is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases alongside GTA 6.
