CD Projekt RED has officially confirmed for the first time that it is preparing to release an unannounced gaming project in the near future. This statement has immediately fueled rumors about a possible expansion for The Witcher 3. Previously, such information circulated only at the insider level, but now it has gained more substantial footing.
The company's report states that the studio continues to actively develop current projects while simultaneously planning to release one of its previously undisclosed products. Against this backdrop, analysts and insiders are linking the announcement specifically to new DLC for The Witcher 3, which could arrive as early as summer or closer to autumn.
Rumors suggest the expansion is being developed by Fool's Theory, a studio previously involved in the remake of the series' first installment. The new content is expected to serve as a narrative bridge between The Witcher 3 and the upcoming The Witcher 4, with the action potentially unfolding in the regions of Kovir and Poviss, although Zerrikania has also been mentioned before.
At the same time, CD Projekt RED is ramping up resources for the next major game in the series: approximately 500 employees are already working on The Witcher 4. Overall, this indicates the studio is actively expanding the universe and preparing players for a new chapter in the franchise.
