The Witcher 3 and all DLC's
The critically acclaimed role-playing masterpiece The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, developed and published by Polish studio CD PROJEKT RED, continues to stand as a monumental benchmark in gaming history. Originally launched on May 19, 2015, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, the title quickly achieved legendary status.
Geralt of Rivia’s sweeping narrative was famously expanded through two massive story expansions, both widely regarded by the gaming community as the gold standard for post-launch DLC. The first expansion, Hearts of Stone, arrived on October 13, 2015, delivering a dark, deeply atmospheric supernatural tale involving a contract with the mysterious Man of Glass and the immortal nobleman Olgierd von Everec. This was followed on May 31, 2016, by the even larger Blood and Wine expansion. It transported players to the sun-drenched, fairy-tale duchy of Toussaint, tasking Geralt with tracking a beast terrorizing the local aristocracy in what was long considered the definitive, bittersweet curtain-call for the titular Witcher.
While the saga was thought to be firmly complete, CD PROJEKT RED recently shocked the industry by officially announcing a third major expansion, titled Songs of the Past. Developed in collaboration with Fool’s Theory, the upcoming DLC is set to bring players back into the boots of Geralt for an entirely new adventure. The expansion is slated for a 2027 release, with the first deep-dive details expected later this summer. To date, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its expansions have surpassed a staggering 60 million copies sold worldwide, alongside earning hundreds of Game of the Year awards.
