Rumors surrounding The Witcher 3 Third Expansion have resurfaced, suggesting CD Projekt Red may not be done with Geralt of Rivia just yet. Despite the game’s age, new reports indicate a potential DLC set in the desert region of Zerrikania.
The speculation gained traction after comments highlighted by IGN Poland, where sources claim internal plans for additional Witcher 3 content still exist. While CD Projekt Red has not made any official announcement, the timing has raised eyebrows among longtime fans.
What The Rumor Claims
According to the report, the unannounced expansion would take players to Zerrikania, a location frequently mentioned in Witcher lore but never fully explored in-game. The desert setting would mark a major departure from the forests, swamps, and snowy regions featured in previous expansions.
This would make it the first major Witcher 3 DLC since Blood and Wine, potentially positioning the expansion as a surprise addition tied to the game’s ongoing anniversary momentum.
CD Projekt Red Has Not Confirmed Anything
At the time of writing, CD Projekt Red has not confirmed the existence of a third expansion. The studio has remained publicly focused on future Witcher projects and other franchises, leaving the current rumor unverified.
However, fans have noted subtle hints and renewed marketing activity around The Witcher 3, fueling speculation that new content could still be in development.
Why Zerrikania Matters To Witcher Fans
Zerrikania has long been one of the most mysterious regions in Witcher lore. Known for its harsh desert climate and unique warrior culture, it has been referenced in books and dialogue but never fully realized in gameplay.
A Witcher 3 expansion set in Zerrikania would allow CD Projekt Red to introduce new enemies, weapons, and environments while keeping the core experience familiar.
Other Industry Updates Mentioned
The same discussion also touched on upcoming Nintendo and Xbox announcements, including new Joy-Con 2 colors launching alongside Mario Tennis Fever and the next Xbox Developer Direct showcase. These updates, while unrelated, added context to why the Witcher rumor has resurfaced now.
What Could Happen Next
If the rumor proves accurate, CD Projekt Red may choose to reveal the expansion during a major showcase or anniversary celebration. Until then, fans should treat the reports as speculation rather than confirmation.
For now, the possibility of returning to The Witcher 3 for one last adventure remains an exciting, if uncertain, prospect.
