Witcher 3 DLC Could Make Velen Even Bigger

It’s been over a decade since The Witcher 3 was released, but the game is still a hot topic. Recent rumors suggest that CD Projekt Red is working on a new DLC for the legendary title. While there’s no official confirmation, insider information is beginning to offer more concrete details about the expansion. According to rumors, the Witcher 3 universe might return to a familiar but potentially expandable area this time, rather than an unexpected region.

Witcher 3 DLC Could Expand the Velen Region

According to information based on Polish sources, the Witcher 3 DLC will not take place in Zerrikania as previously claimed. Instead, it’s rumored to be located in Velen and a region near the northern kingdoms. Velen, which we saw in the main game as a war-torn, dark, and hopeless untouched land, has gained a strong place in players’ memories, especially with the Bloody Baron quest series.

Re-examining this region could be a powerful choice, both nostalgically and narratively. Velen’s story potential wasn’t fully exhausted in the main game, and it’s possible to explore a different dimension of the post-war atmosphere. A structure that maintains the tone of Witcher 3 but expands with new characters and quests could create a natural sense of return for players.

Rumors suggest this DLC will bridge Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4. It’s being discussed that it could offer a clearer framework for the conclusion of Geralt’s story and give Ciri a more central role. This could create a strong narrative foundation for the transition to the new main game.

Furthermore, rumors pointing to a May release date suggest that The Witcher 4 marketing process could begin with this expansion. CD Projekt Red is known to have allocated a large budget to the new game. The Witcher 3 DLC could be a strategic step to both keep fans’ expectations alive and prepare for the new era.
