[Laptop1991]

Great news, looking forward to it.

 

[Laptop1991]

Still great news in this other thread lol

 

[Exentryk]

Just saw this. They wanted to announce it during the RED Stream tomorrow, but found something unexpected with Red Launcher so did the announcement today. Not sure if they will still reveal stuff tomorrow?

Regardless, hyped! Day 1!

 

[Erebus]

lol DLC for a game of 2015 coming in 2027? What madness is this?

 

[Exentryk]

Will likely be better than quite a few full games.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Diablo 2 gets a new class, Witcher 3 a new expansion... what a time to be alive.

 

[SnapShot]

I'm so ready for this, TW3 is like one of my all time favorite games

 

[pudel]

lol DLC for a game of 2015 coming in 2027? What madness is this?

Its beautiful madness. Time for a new playthrough.

 

[Gonzito]

lol DLC for a game of 2015 coming in 2027? What madness is this?

Yeah its weird but good news. I am not a big fan of witcher 3 gameplay though but I like the rest, music, dialogues, writing etc.

 

[Oberstein]

and is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2027.

Switch 2 is being snubbed.

 

[PeteBull]

lol DLC for a game of 2015 coming in 2027? What madness is this?

 

[The Cockatrice]

2027...? ewww. That means Witcher 4 is....2028? Fucking hell.

 

[Z O N E]

I AM READY.

Probably going to start a Very Hard playthrough of the entire game before the DLC, that way I can hopefully be done with the game before the DLC drops and transition into it.

 

[SpearHea.:D]

DLC for a sp game released in 2015 in year 2026. WTF.
Give it to me, Witcher 3 is among the GOATS of gaming.

Plus geralt again. Wooot

 

[Gamezone]

Let's go.

 

[Bojji]

Holy shit, after 11 fucking years!

 

[CrustyBritches]

Hell yeah

 

[I wasn't selling any]

Okay, so, how woke will they make that expansion? Will it become another woke slop? 11 years is a long time, a lot of things have changed since. It's likely they may even retcon some non-woke elements of TW3 to more woke ones.

 

[Gonzito]

Okay, so, how woke will they make that expansion? Will it become another woke slop?

 

[Xtib81]

Very surprising to have a new dlc 10 years after but I'm there day one. I hope they have improved their engine a bit, though.
Edit : 2027 ?? sounds like TW4 won't be out until 2028 then.

 

[Stafford]

Let's fucking go! It's finally a fact now.

Very likely a brand new location, right?

 

[GinSama]

Is this the DLC that Will connect Witcher 3 with Witcher 4?

Also how much input will have fools theory ? I mean any big game they worked ??

 

[RJMacready73]

ahhh ffs 2027 release :-(

 

[Tomi]

Best developers on the planet Earth!

After 11 years we are getting expansion to live in the Witcher 3 one of the greatest games of all time ONCE MORE!!!

GOAT!!!

every single thread. Every single game... Like come on.... nothing about CDPR Games is woke. Why do you need to drag this stupid discussion in every subject. I´m so tired of this culture worrior bullshit. This place is becoming even worse than Era. Just enjoy the hobby

 

[GudOlRub]

So TW4 will probably only be out by 28 or 29 at the earliest right?
Hyped af for this though.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

If it's anywhere near Blood and Wine or Hearts of Stone quality, I'll be there on day one!

 

[realcool]

A bug prevented me from completing one of the expansions, so I uninstalled the game. It was a quest that led me to a hatch in the ground, but I couldn't open the hatch. It was basically soft-locked. I couldn't progress, and all my previous saves had the same bug in them. I'll give this expansion a chance, but if that damn bug still isn't fixed after all this time, it's going to be a pebble in my shoe.

CP 2077 PL expansion from 2023 wasn't woke at all.

 

[pudel]

Will it become another woke slop?

Can we just cross this bridge when we get close to release and have seen it? I see no sense in outraging about stuff which never happened yet (and will most probably not happen...because it would be a complete suicide move)

 

[Pokedot]

Holy shit I can't believe it's real. Hopefully it's super meaty expansion, can't wait to return to the Witcher universe.

 

[I wasn't selling any]

DLC for a sp game released in 2015 in year 2026. WTF.
Give it to me, Witcher 3 is among the GOATS of gaming.

Plus geralt again. Wooot

And it will run on old-ass hardware as well, since it's an 11 year old game, which is great.

 

[Pokedot]

I'm curious why they're not doing a reveal at SGF, with it being so close.

 

[WoeIsMe]

Fucking great news! I really hope the quality is there like it were for the other two expansions.

Cool that you play as Geralt again also, I thought it would be Ciri this time.

 

[captainnapalm]

I feel like this is them trying to hedge their bets after moving on from Geralt - which I still think is a bad idea.

 

[Skifi28]

Okay, so, how woke will they make that expansion?

Go out, touch some grass.

 

[Dazraell]

Hot damn, didn't expected that being announced like that. I thought they will save it for summer showcases

 

[geary]

This is clearly done to link the events to W4... maybe we get the "why" Ciri has witcher powers.

 

[Oberstein]

Though honestly, why announce it before the livestream?

 

[Vaga]

 

[Dazraell]

Though honestly, why announce it before the livestream?

They goofed up and accidentally leaked it somewhere on their backend

 

[acm2000]

aka Witcher 4 is delayed to 2028/29 so heres something we got a team to chuck together to tide you over.

 

[Alex11]

Holy fuck, I thought those were just rumors, didn't expect this. I can't wait for this, Witcher 3 is an absolute favourite of all time for me, still play it, I even have a new playthrough started a year ago.

Can't believe we're gonna be playing another story with Geralt again after 12 years.

 

[Seomel]

Welcome...home

 

[Pokedot]

So that Polish leaker was right. Anyone remember what else they said about the expansion?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Can't wait!

 

[Bartski]

any ideas how how am I supposed to re-learn all mechanics at endgame complexity after a decade?
