Fans Say Witcher 3 Stream Signals Imminent DLC Reveal

CD Projekt Red has unveiled a new livestream to commemorate the anniversary of the Blood and Wine DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, sparking speculation that the studio might drop hints about a long‑awaited 2026 expansion for the beloved RPG.

Although no official confirmation has surfaced, several high‑level insiders suggest that an update for The Witcher 3 is slated for release this year. These whispers hint that the DLC could serve as a bridge, preparing fans for the next major entry in the franchise, presumably The Witcher 4.

CD Projekt Red had previously clarified that the next mainline title would not arrive in 2026, lending further credence to the possibility of a The Witcher 3 DLC launch this year. The gaming community, along with social media chatter, is buzzing that the May 28 livestream—scheduled for 5 PM CEST—may finally unveil fresh content for the decade‑old game.

“Toussaint, the land of love and wine 🍷—join us on May 28th at 5 PM CEST for a special anniversary stream of The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine. Together with Kacper Niepokólczycki and Magdalena Zych, we’ll return once more to the land of knights, vineyards, and vampires!” the studio announced, sharing a teaser image on Twitter.

In a celebratory move, CD Projekt Red has announced a livestream marking the tenth anniversary of the Blood and Wine DLC, the final major expansion for The Witcher 3. While the studio has continued to sprinkle smaller updates over the years—most recently the Next‑Gen Update in 2023—this event is poised to honor the DLC’s lasting impact.

The stream will feature the studio’s own developers revisiting Blood and Wine, offering insights into what made the expansion a standout experience. Fans can tune in via CD Projekt Red’s Twitch and YouTube channels to catch the replay.

Although the broadcast is expected to focus on Blood and Wine, many players speculate that the event could double as a platform for announcing a new Witcher 3 DLC. One fan even quipped, “Am I being baited again?”—a playful nod to Rockstar Games’ history of deferring the highly anticipated GTA 6 trailer past fan‑made deadlines.

If CD Projekt Red confirms a new Witcher 3 update slated for 2026, details remain sparse. Rumors suggest the addition won’t be a sprawling overhaul, but it could introduce fresh content that hints at the forthcoming The Witcher 4, potentially weaving new narrative threads into the existing world.

Rumours are swirling that the enigmatic Ciri, the ethereal daughter of Geralt of Rivia, could take centre stage in a forthcoming DLC for The Witcher 3. The speculation gains traction after a 2025 tech demo showcased her as the lead character in the upcoming Witcher 4, built on the powerful Unreal Engine 5.

While the prospect of a Ciri‑led expansion is tantalising, the absence of Geralt would be a hard sell. Fans can expect the White Wolf to return in some form, ensuring the iconic hero remains woven into the narrative tapestry.
