And what's the scam exactly? It may be a link from 3 to 4

??? you just asked, Scam? lol

 

[JusticeForAll]

I would buy it.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Day 1. Hoping for a PS5 Pro patch…. Because why not?

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Not going back to that turd of gameplay, sorry

C'mon papito, don't be an asshole-ito

 

[Gambit2483]

I can see a new DLC along with a Switch 2 upgrade release.

BTW the Switch 1 version is actually good, considering.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Because of this news I went back and finally beat the main game, finished Hearts of Stone and started Blood & Wine.

I struggle to call these "expansions" and they truely are full new games, especially Blood & Wine.

I would expect the next expansion to be a story bridge between the Witcher 3 and 4. This would also buy CDPR to take their time on the Witcher 4. Therefore we could see:

Witcher 3 expansion: 2026
Witcher 1 Remake: 2027
Witcher 4: 2028 - as a launch window title for next gen.

Witcher remake is coming after IV, pretty sure CDPR has confirmed that. They basically want to use all the tech developed for IV in the Remake as well.

 

[Lorianus]

More W3 is always welcome.

Yep. It makes sense for CDPR to create/adapt UE tools together with Epic and then share it with Fool's Theory.

 

[Stafford]

I wish Witcher Remake would come out before IV because the wait for IV is going to be nasty.

 

[RJMacready73]

I haven't even played the existing DLC. I want to, but at this point I feel like I would have to replay the entire game first.

The first one was pretty much a long questline set in the existing world but Blood & Wine was a whole new area and well worth the time to play, it was a huge expansion and well worth playing.

Anyways I'd be right up for a new standalone DLC just really upgrade the graphics a bit whilst you're at it

Blood and Wine I can agree with you but the other one does feel like an expansion to be honest. It reuses the main story map and it's not that long

TW1 Remake was announced much earlier but is still on the concept stage of development, so it won't come earlier. TW4 will come first as it's on the most advanced stage of development out of everything they currently have on the pipeline

 

[CJ_75]

A new DLC for The Witcher 3? If Geralt gets to hump and I end up tangled in a love triangle, and in between I can slash a few monsters, count me in.

 

[Major Insano]

Would gladly pay for it, if the rumours are true, but it would be cool if it was free for peeps with the GOTY/Complete editions like the NG update.

Also Im still rocking a mid-range PC and a X1x with W3 so hopefully it will run on either.

 

[amigastar]

I would rather like an expansion for Gothic 2 if you know what i mean.

 

[Exentryk]

Day 1.

 

[Metnut]

CDRP should at least have a Witcher 3 or Cyberpubk new DLC every -8-24 months until the new stuff comes out. 7 years between releases is a bit much.

 

[Radical_3d]

Wrap it up with a Pro patch and I might bite.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Makes sense if for no other reason than to help tide people over til 4 is done, which is prolly 3-4 years away still.

 

[viveks86]

After nearly 200 hours, I'm so burnt out on Witcher 3. Just give me Witcher 4 already

 

[asdasdasdbb]

I feel like publishers view DLC as something to get a little bit of extra money out of people who really like the game... but mainly so they can reset the price of the complete edition.

It doesn't help that only ~40% of people will complete it.

 

[Stafford]

Damn!

 

[Rivdoric]

It will probably show Ciri's transition and build the premises upon which modern Witcher 4 will be built !

 

[Dazraell]

Damn!

I mean, this remake is supposed to use the same tech as TW4 and is made by an external partner (same one who works on this rumored expansion), so it was always safe to assume that TW4 will be the one that will release first. Honestly speaking, I wouldn't be surprised if this third expansion happened only because Fool's Theory needed a small scale in-between project while were still waiting until CDPR will finish their own internal tools and modifications to Unreal which will be also used for TW1 remake

 

[UltimaKilo]

Blood and Wine I can agree with you but the other one does feel like an expansion to be honest. It reuses the main story map and it's not that long

I get that, however Hearts of Stone does add new characters, a new massive area, new armor plus additional side quests and contracts. A good 25 hours of gameplay!

I wonder if the new expansion will be 10-15 hours, or another full blown 40-60 hour story?

Spoiler

I am still convinced that Geralt is back in The Witcher 4

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Hoping for great things with The Witcher 1 remake, the original had a lot of cool things going for it and loved my time even with the fun controls, haha.

Really pumped for the Future.

 

[leizzra]

If your PC runs W3 B&W well then it should be ok.

A Ciri expansion would actually be pretty cool. Doubt it'll happen though.
