According to recent reports, CD Projekt Red may be planning a surprise final expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski from Noble Securities recently indicated that he expects a new paid add-on to release in May 2026. This claim aligns with rumors from Polish insider Borys Nieśpielak, who suggests that the content is being developed by Fool’s Theory, the same studio currently working on the remake of the original Witcher game. While The Witcher 3 received its last major expansion, Blood and Wine, nearly a decade ago, these new reports have sparked significant excitement among the fanbase.

Clues in Financial Reports

Supporting these rumors are comments found in CD Projekt’s recent financial statements. CFO Piotr Nielubowicz hinted that “new content hinted upon in recent calls and reports may see release in the coming year,” which would have a significant impact on the company’s financial results. While the developer has not officially confirmed the project, the mention of “new content” in an official capacity adds weight to the idea that Geralt of Rivia might have one last adventure before the franchise moves fully into its next generation. A spokesperson for the studio stated they do not comment on rumors or speculation, which is a standard response for unannounced projects.

Expanding the Witcher Universe

This potential expansion would join a growing list of projects set in The Witcher universe. Currently, CD Projekt Red is working on The Witcher 4 (codenamed Polaris), a remake of the first Witcher game, and a separate multiplayer title. Last year, the studio showcased a technical demo for The Witcher 4, highlighting the power of Unreal Engine 5. If this new expansion for The Witcher 3 is indeed real, it could serve as a perfect bridge to keep fans engaged while they wait for the next mainline entry. As May 2026 approaches, players are keeping a close eye on official channels for any confirmation of this unexpected return to the Continent.
