The Witcher 3 Rumored to Get New DLC—Is CD Projekt About to Surprise Us Again?

Just when I thought my days with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt were over, the gaming rumor mill starts buzzing again. After nearly a decade and two stellar expansions, whispers of another narrative DLC for Geralt’s magnum opus caught my attention-and honestly, it’s set the community on fire with speculation.

The Witcher 3 Rumored Story DLC – What’s Actually Going On?

• Potential new story DLC for The Witcher 3, reportedly in development at Fool’s Theory, not CD Projekt Red directly.
• Leaks suggest a release before Witcher 4 and the Witcher 1 remake, possibly as soon as next year.
• CDPR’s habit of unexpected updates and the recent Cyberpunk shake-ups make this rumor more believable than most.
• If true, this would be an unprecedented move: supporting a nearly 10-year-old game with major new content.

Feature	Specification
Publisher	CD Projekt
Release Date	Unconfirmed (Rumored for 2025)
Genres	Action RPG, Open World, Story Expansion (rumored)
Platforms	PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S (expected)

Let’s cut through the speculation: the rumor comes from longstanding Polish podcasters Rock and Boris, reinforced by Insider Gaming-a source that’s earned some credibility for only picking up substantial rumors. According to their sources, Fool’s Theory-a studio with a pretty solid pedigree, having worked on The Thaumaturge and now tackling the Witcher 1 remake—is handling this new slice of The Witcher 3 content. If true, they’d be picking up Geralt’s story after Blood & Wine, not an easy act to follow.

Why would CD Projekt even be considering this? From a business angle, it’s risky and unusual. But in the context of their recent “surprise drop” strategy—remember how Cyberpunk 2077 keeps getting chunky updates long after the roadmap “ended”—it almost fits. CDPR have shown a habit of saying one thing (“We’re done with post-launch support”) and quietly putting together more content than anyone expects. It keeps the fanbase engaged, and let’s face it: there’s no more loyal audience out there than Witcher fans.

And Fool’s Theory isn’t some random support studio either. Their work on The Thaumaturge proved they understand moody, character-driven games, and giving them the keys to The Witcher 3’s narrative world makes sense—especially since they’re already entrusted with remaking the first Witcher.

One detail that jumps out: this wouldn’t just be a next-gen patch, but full-blown new story content, reportedly releasing ahead of The Witcher 4 and the Witcher 1 remake. You rarely see this kind of support for a decade-old game—unless maybe it’s from FromSoftware or a die-hard indie studio.

The timeline the leak lays out goes like this: console mods land first, then the new DLC, Witcher 4 next, and finally the Witcher 1 remake. That’s a lot of Witcher for the next couple of years, if this rumor turns out to be true. It’s not official until CDPR confirms it, but given their recent secrecy and penchant for last-minute reveals, I’m not writing it off.

Why Should Gamers Care About This?

If you’re like me—and honestly, most of the RPG community—The Witcher 3 is one of those rare titles that doesn’t leave you, even after the credits roll. A new expansion would be more than just nostalgia bait; it could mean:

• One last ride with Geralt in a world that still feels alive and massive after all these years.
• A chance to see how Fallout’s Theory’s approach to world-building stacks up with CD Projekt’s—especially as they prep for the Witcher 1 remake.
• The potential for next-gen technical upgrades and mod support to recontextualize the game for a whole new audience (and old timers like me).
• Proof that AAA studios don’t have to abandon old games for the next big launch—something the whole industry could learn from.

I do have questions: Can Fool’s Theory catch the magic of Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine? Is this DLC meant to tie Geralt’s saga into the upcoming Witcher 4, or is it just a last love letter to the fanbase? And is there any risk to Geralt’s legacy if they come back to the well once too often? These are fair doubts after so many half-baked DLC cash-grabs in the AAA space, but the Witcher brand does still stand for quality—so my hopes remain high (with a dash of skepticism).

TL;DR: Witcher 3 Could Get the Send-Off It Deserves—If the Rumors Are Real

CDPR has a track record of zigging when we expect them to zag, and this rumored Witcher 3 DLC could either be the biggest left-field crowd-pleaser of 2025 or just another wishful blip on the leaker hype cycle. If you still love Witcher 3, keep your eyes peeled—the next year might hold more adventure for Geralt than anyone expected. Personally? I’m tentatively hyped, but I’ll believe it when I see that REDengine logo again.
