Nearly ten years after its release, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to assert its strong presence within the gaming industry. Recent reports from IGN Poland, along with analytical sources within the Polish market, indicate that a third major expansion for the game is now actively in development, with only the official announcement from CD Projekt Red remaining.

Talk of a third expansion is not entirely new, as rumors have circulated for years, often met with skepticism. What is different this time is that internal sources and specialized analysts are confirming that the project is real and has reached a relatively advanced stage of development.

According to circulating information, this expansion is not intended as a traditional side addition. Instead, it has been designed as a narrative bridge between the events of The Witcher 3 and the highly anticipated fourth installment of the series. Its primary purpose is to set up the story and introduce elements that prepare players for the next phase of The Witcher universe.

One of the most intriguing details is the setting. The expansion is said to feature a completely new map with desert-themed environments, a direction that differs significantly from the familiar settings of the series. Speculation points toward the Korath region or nearby areas, opening the door to new cultures, different conflicts, and unfamiliar types of enemies.

In terms of scale and content, expectations suggest a massive expansion comparable to Blood and Wine in depth and playtime, significantly raising player expectations. According to reports, the expansion will be released exclusively on current-generation consoles and PC, with no support for previous-generation systems.

As for development, available information indicates that Fool’s Theory studio is responsible for executing the project. The studio includes developers with prior experience working on The Witcher series, which adds an extra layer of credibility to the project.

Regarding the release date, expectations are centered around a potential launch window in May, while emphasizing that no official date has been announced so far.

Whether this expansion serves as a final return to the world of The Witcher 3 or as a direct lead-in to the fourth installment, it is clear that this game has not yet closed the final chapters of its story.
