Last month, Noble Securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski suggested that this DLC could act as a narrative setup leading into The Witcher 4. This next chapter, rumored to feature Ciri as the lead, is speculated to arrive around May 2026.
Nieśpielak points to CD Projekt Red’s latest financial disclosure as further evidence. He believes a specific remark from Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski effectively validates the expansion rumors.
“Considering our current trajectory, there is a possibility that new content—alluded to in previous reports—could launch next year,” Nowakowski noted during a November investor call. “This would influence our financial performance and help meet the criteria for our executive incentive programs.”
While this isn’t a formal announcement, the patterns in CDPR’s corporate communication often hide deliberate teases. Although the “mystery content” could refer to something less substantial, the studio has a history of supporting its flagship titles long after launch. It’s a compelling blend of insider leaks and corporate hints that makes a 2026 return to the Continent seem increasingly plausible.
