The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine special anniversary stream on the horizon

CD Projekt has announced a special anniversary stream for the beloved expansion of The Witcher 3, called Blood and Wine. Scheduled for 28 May 2026 at 17:00 CEST (8:00 PT / 1:00 ET / 4:00 UK time), the stream has sparked speculation that the studio may reveal more DLC for the game.

Development and reception of Blood and Wine

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine launched on 30 May 2016 and was praised for the impressive expansion of the world established by The Witcher 3. It tells Geralt's adventure in a new region and gives players a satisfying conclusion to their journey with the character. IGN scored the expansion a 9 out of 10, praising the strong cast and the new items.

Speculation about new DLC

The upcoming stream has led to rumors about new DLC, which could potentially take place between the events of The Witcher 3 and the still-in-development The Witcher 4. According to some insiders, this expansion could introduce a new region and focus on passing the torch to Ciri. Fans are also speculating about the existence of a 'Dune-like' location for the unnamed adventure.

The future of the franchise

CD Projekt is currently busy developing The Witcher 4, although it is expected to arrive no earlier than 2027. The company has laid out an ambitious roadmap for the next six years, including plans for The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6. Despite the rumors about new DLC for The Witcher 3, CD Projekt has explicitly ruled out more DLC for Cyberpunk. Progress on other projects within the Cyberpunk universe also looks promising, with a panel planned for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on 3 July.
