“It seems that the mysterious, unannounced undertaking by CD Projekt Purple being developed by Idiot’s Idea is a story-driven DLC for The Witcher 3.”
“This data has been confirmed by a number of impartial sources.”
The report comes from dependable Polish gaming insider Remigiusz Maciaszek (video above) who has been sitting on the information for some time, ready for extra substantial affirmation. That got here throughout CDPR’s latest quarterly outcomes, the place they talked about a collaboration with Idiot’s Idea on an unannounced undertaking — sufficient to get the wheels turning.
“For me, a key second was CD Projekt mentioning throughout their quarterly outcomes that they’re engaged on an unannounced undertaking with Idiot’s Idea,” Remigiusz Maciaszek stated.
“At first, I couldn’t imagine it — it sounded so summary.”
However in hindsight, it’s not that outlandish. The Witcher 3 just lately obtained a next-gen replace and continues to promote nicely practically a decade after launch. In actual fact, it only recently topped 60 million copies bought, placing it in a really elite class. A brand new DLC, even this late within the recreation, makes a whole lot of enterprise sense.
“Now, a vital factor: we have to separate what we do know from what we don’t know,” stated Remigiusz.
“We know that that is DLC for The Witcher 3.”
As for what’s subsequent, the timeline is reportedly already sketched out. First come mod instruments for consoles – which we obtained very just lately – then this Witcher 3 DLC, adopted by The Witcher 4, and ultimately the Witcher 1 remake which has been rumoured for ages.

Nearly nothing is thought concerning the story DLC, however Remigiusz and his co-host speculate that it’s going to doubtless be a bridge between the occasions of The Witcher 3 and the upcoming Witcher 4 through which Ciri is the primary character.
“I wager this DLC will tease or steer us towards The Witcher 4 ultimately — as advertising and marketing for the brand new recreation.”
As for the developer’s, Idiot’s Idea is not any stranger to Geralt’s world. In actual fact, it was based by a number of the core builders behind The Witcher 3, together with lead quest designer Jakub Rokosz, who was answerable for the fan-favourite “Ice Big” quest.
No official announcement has been made by CD Projekt Purple but, and with something like this, a pinch of salt is really useful — however given the calibre of the crew, and the studio’s continued funding within the Witcher IP, that is an thrilling prospect. If true, The Witcher 3 could also be getting one final trip into battle — and it might even be Geralt’s huge final hurrah earlier than he formally arms the silver sword over to Ciri. Though Geralts ending has already occurred within the Blood and Wine enlargement, so that is prone to be one thing like a have a look at how Ciri’s obtained her new powers – and misplaced her previous ones.
