A Polish insider suggests that the next DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will not take players to the exotic land of Zerrikania. Instead, the new region is expected to be an extension of Velen, the war-torn area from the base game. The rumor suggests a shift in expectations for the upcoming content.
Insider hints at Velen expansion
The insider, known as UV o grach, hinted that fans are looking too far away for the new setting. According to the source, the answer is right under their nose. The DLC is reportedly designed to bridge the gap between The Witcher 3 and the upcoming The Witcher 4.
Creating a completely new region from scratch would require significant effort for a smaller team. Expanding Velen would allow developers to reuse existing assets and deliver content more efficiently. This approach aligns with the rumored May 2026 launch window.
The DLC is reportedly launching in May 2026, according to the insider. No official confirmation from CD Projekt Red has been made. Pricing details remain unknown at this time.
The Witcher 3 was originally released in 2015 and has received several expansions, including Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Those expansions introduced entirely new areas, but this rumored DLC would take a different approach by building on familiar territory.
The information comes from UV o grach, a Polish insider with a track record of leaks. As with all rumors, details should be treated as unconfirmed until CD Projekt Red makes an official announcement.
The rumored DLC for The Witcher 3 is expected to expand Velen and launch in May 2026. Until CD Projekt Red confirms the details, the community will have to wait for official word.
