14 DAY TRIAL // The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has just received the first details about two major expansions that will be released for the game and add a total of 30 hours of adventures to the RPG. The first launches in October, whereas the second debuts in the first few months of 2016.
The Witcher 3 has been a long time coming, with developer CD Projekt Red having first confirmed the game back in 2013. Since then, it's received various release dates but has been delayed every single time.
The game is currently set to appear in May of this year, and the Polish studio already confirmed that it was going to launch after it 16 free downloadable content packs that include new armor, customization items, skins, quests, and more.
Two major expansions are going to launch for The Witcher 3
However, the studio now announces on the official website that it's also going to debut two big expansions for the role-playing experience, which will cost money but are set to bring dozens of hours of new adventures.
The first add-on is called Hearts of Stone and should deliver about 10 hours of new quests and missions. Protagonist Geralt of Rivia heads to the wilds of No Man's Land as well as the town of Oxenfurt on a contract from the Man of Glass. Players will need all their "cunning and strength to solve the mystery and emerge unscathed" once the DLC drops in October of 2015.
The second expansion is called Blood and Wine and should bring 20 hours of new content that takes place in the all-new region of Toussaint, a land untainted by war. However, while things seem calm on the surface, the studio confirms that they'll have to uncover an ancient and bloody secret once it launches in the first quarter of 2016.
The two expansions will bring new content, gear, foes, characters old and new, as well as the quality that's already a trademark for CD Projekt Red.
You can already buy the Expansion Pass as well as the game and the pass in a single bundle.
