“It would be difficult” to release a Witcher 4 expansion claims CDPR

Following the release of Cyberpunk 2077, studio CD Projekt Red offered fans insight into their next decade worth of developments, revealing that they plan to release a Witcher remake, a new Witcher trilogy and a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. Given their schedule, it makes sense that according to CDPR, there are no plans for The Witcher 4 to receive any expansions in the vein of Hearts of Stone / Blood and Wine.

During the company’s recent earnings call (as transcribed by GamesRadar), the joint CEO for CDPR – Michał Nowakowski – was asked whether future Witcher titles would receive any expansions a-la The Witcher 3, stating:

“Given the very ambitious project pipeline, does the company see room for developing expansions for the new Witcher saga?” to which Nowakowski responded:

“As you mentioned in the question, the plans are pretty ambitious. Specifically, it's to release three Witcher games within a six-year period. It would be difficult, to be very honest, for us to add an expansion to the upcoming trilogy. This is where we are here and now with this particular issue.”

CDPR Trilogy

While this does not mean that the games won’t see any post-launch support, don’t expect any major DLCs or expansions moving forward.

That said, given that they hope to release an entire trilogy in the span of 6 years, fans shouldn’t be hurting for more Witcher any time soon – especially with The Witcher 3’s Song of the Past arriving next year.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has officially sold over 65 million copies

11 years ago The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released, quickly becoming one of the most celebrated games of all time while catapulting studio CD Projekt Red to new heights. A decade later and the open world RPG continues to be more popular than ever. Following the announcement that the game is set to receive a surprise 3rd expansion next year, CDPR have confirmed that The Witcher 3 has officially sold over 65 million copies.

Making the announcement as part of the studio’s Q1 2026 Earnings report, CDPR officially confirmed that since its release back in 2015, The Witcher 3 has sold over 65 million copies.

This puts it as one of the best selling games of all time, currently sitting between the original Super Mario Bros. (58 million) and Terraria (70 million copies sold) in 8th place.

Witcher 65 million

For context, back in January of this year CDPR confirmed that TW3 had sold a total of 60 million copies, meaning a further 5 million were sold in the past 4 or so months alone.

Given that we’re set to receive a new major expansion over a decade on from Blood and Wine, it will be interesting to see how sales for the title continue to track over the next year in the lead-up to ‘Songs of the Past’s release.

The Witcher spin-off ‘Project Sirius’ has a new lead writer

CD Projekt Red has been working on a mysterious new Witcher spin-off game for quite some time now. We haven't had an update on Project Sirius in a long time but that changed this week, with the writer behind Destiny 2: The Final Shape joining the development team. 

Kwan Perng, whose credits include Destiny 2: The Final Shape, Last Epoch and Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons, has joined CD Projekt Red to work on Project Sirius. The game has been in pre-production for years now, but the hiring of a new lead writer indicates that the project is now moving forward into its production phase. If true, CD Projekt Red may confirm this in its next earnings report.

Project Sirius began development in 2021, when CD Projekt Red acquired The Molasses Flood, the studio behind the game ‘The Flame in the Flood'. Since then, the studio has been renamed to CD Projekt Red Boston as part of the company's expansion into the US.

While we don't know a lot about this game yet, it is expected to be a multiplayer co-op title set in The Witcher universe but not necessarily connected to the previous games. It will be developed on Unreal Engine 5, just like The Witcher 4 and other upcoming CDPR games like Cyberpunk 2.

KitGuru Says: Assuming development remains on track with no further reboots or cancellations, then we should finally see Project Sirius within the next few years.

He also shared that the console versions are already shaping well, and he personally finished the whole game on a PlayStation 5. I'm really comfortable. I feel really confident about our game; we're already […]
