New Witcher 3 Expansion Rumored for 2026
What’s Happening?
Rumors are circulating about a potential paid expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, despite the game turning a decade old in May 2025. These claims originated with Polish leaker Borys Nieśpielak and gained traction following comments from CD Projekt’s chief financial officer, Piotr Nielubowicz.
The Source of the Rumors
The initial reports came from Borys Nieśpielak, a Polish leaker who predicted an announcement at The game Awards in December 2025, which did not materialize. Nieśpielak alleges the expansion is being developed by Fool’s gold, the studio currently remaking the original Witcher game. He recently pointed to a statement from CD Projekt red’s CFO as supporting evidence.
Nielubowicz stated in CD Projekt’s Q3 2025 earnings call that “There is a chance that new content hinted upon in recent calls and reports may see release in the coming year.” He further indicated this content would impact the company’s financial results.
CD Projekt Red’s Current Projects
CD Projekt Red is actively developing The Witcher 4, codenamed Polaris.However, the company appears to be exploring opportunities to further support The Witcher 3, potentially capitalizing on its continued popularity. The studio also has other projects in the pipeline, including the remake of the original Witcher game by Fool’s Gold.
Financial Implications
Nielubowicz’s comments suggest the expansion is meaningful enough to influence CD Projekt Red’s financial performance. A prosperous expansion could boost revenue and demonstrate continued demand for The Witcher 3. This is notably important as the company invests heavily in its next-generation projects.
