The chat exploded before the stream even started. I watched a dozen hands wave across X as theories stacked like cards. You can feel the crowd deciding whether to cheer or curse.
At 5 PM CEST on May 28, CD Projekt Red will return to Toussaint for a Blood and Wine anniversary stream
I’ve followed CD Projekt Red for years, and you should know how they stage moments. The company announced a livestream hosted by Kacper Niepokólczycki and Magdalena Zych to revisit the DLC that closed out a decade of Witcher 3 expansions.
The livestream is a loaded cork, pressure building under the bottle of silence. Officially, it’s a 10-year celebration of Blood and Wine, but timing and context have fans primed for more than nostalgia.
Will the Witcher 3 livestream announce new DLC?
Short answer: maybe. I’ve spoken to sources who say some kind of update is planned for this year, and those whispers line up with the timing of the stream.
CD Projekt has previously stated that the next full game in the franchise won’t arrive in 2026, which makes a targeted Witcher 3 update feel plausible. Insiders describe the update as modest—new quests or tie-in content meant to bridge players toward The Witcher 4 rather than replace it.
On X, threads swelled with speculation within minutes of the announcement
You could watch the pattern: a tweet, ten replies, a rumor sketched into a full scenario. Fans posted theories, clipped the original announcement, and quoted one another until a chorus of expectation formed.
That chorus sometimes turns into pressure. I’ve seen the fan reaction to Rockstar’s delays for GTA 6 referenced repeatedly—people asking if they’re being baited. It’s a rational guardrail: you don’t want to hype yourself into disappointment.
When is the Witcher 3 livestream?
The stream is scheduled for May 28 at 5 PM CEST and will be broadcast on CD Projekt Red’s Twitch and YouTube channels. Tune in if you want the moment intact—there’s a special quality to seeing an announcement unfold live.
Multiple high-level sources have been hinting that the next step will be smaller, connective content
I’ve tracked leaks and reporting that point toward a DLC designed to prepare players for The Witcher 4. Think of it as a narrative stitch, not a whole new coat.
Rumors are a low-level static humming under every tweet. The consistent thread: expect new missions or scenes that push Ciri into the spotlight and keep Geralt present in some capacity. That matches public material—Ciri was shown as the next protagonist in an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo in 2025—so a connective DLC would be logical from a design and marketing angle.
What might the new Witcher 3 DLC include?
Based on the leaks and CD Projekt’s recent behavior—the 2023 Next-Gen Update, and years of smaller patch additions—the DLC will probably focus on narrative beats rather than a massive map expansion. Possibilities include:
- New quests that foreshadow Ciri’s arc in The Witcher 4.
- Character moments with Geralt that set stakes and offer closure or direction.
- Location touches or side content in familiar zones like Toussaint to give fans one last taste of past DLC texture.
CD Projekt hasn’t confirmed scope, and I’d advise caution—you’ll want to watch the stream without pre-built expectations so you can judge the news on its own merits.
I’ll be watching the stream live; you should too if you care about how CD Projekt is staging the path to the next game. Either we get a tidy connective chapter, or we get a lovely walk through a beloved DLC—both tell you something about where the studio is heading next. What do you think they will show us?
