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.”

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.

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.

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.

KitGuru says: When did you first pick up The Witcher 3? Will it reach 75 million by the time the expansion comes out? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Over the past few months, we have been hearing rumours that CD Projekt Red is secretly working on a third expansion for The Witcher 3, more than a decade after the game's initial launch. Today, CDPR confirmed exactly that, however, the new expansion, titled ‘Songs of the Past', is still quite some ways off from release.

Sitting at over 60 million copies sold, The Witcher 3 is one of the most critically acclaimed and highest-selling RPGs of all time. Now, almost a decade on from the release of the game's original expansions, CD Projekt Red has a third new story arc on the way, helping to bridge the gap while CDPR gets The Witcher 4 ready.

Unfortunately, we do not yet know much about the Songs of the Past expansion. All we know for now is that we will once again be playing as Geralt, setting off on a “brand new adventure”, developed in collaboration with Fool's Theory. More details about the expansion are expected to drop during ‘late Summer'.

While there is not a final release date yet, CD Projekt Red says the expansion will only be coming to current-gen platforms, including PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it will release sometime in 2027.

KitGuru Says: It is extremely rare to see a single-player games studio still supporting their titles this long after launch. Will you be jumping back into The Witcher 3 for the new expansion when it arrives?

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. 

Just as promised, this week the team at Rebel Wolves revealed more about their new big RPG, Blood of Dawnwalker. The studio, made up of former Witcher developers, will be launching its first big game this Autumn, putting it in direct competition with the Fable reboot.

Blood of Dawnwalker is set to launch on September 4th. The game's director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, told Eurogamer that he is “really confident” in the project.

The game will put players in the shoes of a half-human half-vampire hybrid, on a mission to rescue their family from other vampires within a set 30-game timespan. Players will have to make tough decisions on the fly and beat the in-game clock, offering numerous outcome opportunities for players to explore upon replays.

The game will be releasing for PC and current-gen consoles. While the game is still some ways off from release, the PC system requirements have been outlined:

With its September release date for PC, PS5 and Xbox, the game will be in close contact to Playground Games' long-awaited Fable reboot, which is also scheduled to launch between August and September.

KitGuru Says: Are you looking forward to The Blood of Dawnwalker? It seems to have an interesting concept, with the whole game built around providing replay value for story completionists.

Very early this year, The Blood of the Dawnwalker developer Rebel Wolves confirmed that their debut dark fantasy action RPG would release in 2026. Now, after a few months of silence, the CEO, Game Director, and Co-Founder Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has been interviewed on The Game Business Show, revealing that he is comfortable with the widespread comparisons to The Witcher games, especially after the successful focus tests. 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 […]

At this point, CD Projekt Red has firmly established itself as a multi-IP studio, with both The Witcher and Cyberpunk garnering huge amounts of money. However, CDPR is also hard at work on establishing a third pillar for its gaming efforts, the mysterious Project Hadar.

In a earnings call this week, CD Projekt Red co-CEO, Michał Nowakowski, confirmed that Hadar will be a brand-new IP for the company. After a couple of years of exploratory pre-production work, the company is now confident in the foundation it has in place and is ready to ramp up work on this new mystery franchise.

“We have an important development update regarding our third franchise, Hadar”, Nowakowski said. “Work on the project is progressing dynamically, and the team has established the foundations of this entirely new IP. Now, we have clearly defined distinguishing features of this world, and established key pillars that will not only provide the foundation for the game itself, but also, potentially, for other future products.”

Like The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, Hadar will also be built using CD Projekt Red's custom version of Unreal Engine 5, which has added features that Epic Games is now implementing in the base engine for the wider game development community.

KitGuru Says: It will be interesting to see what Hadar ends up being. For now, only a small team is working on it, with the majority of developers at CD Projekt Red focusing on The Witcher 4, with a second large group of developers working on Cyberpunk 2.
