CD Projekt Red has previously openly stated that it would not be showcasing anything new at the 2025 The Game Awards show, but despite this, a wild rumor has started circulating claiming that the Polish game studio will introduce a new DLC for The Witcher 3. CDPR previously released a trailer for The Witcher 4 at The Game Awards 2024, so it stands to reason that there may be another announcement or reveal from the game studio at this year's The Game Awards. The rumors started because of a supposed leak that was revealed by Borys Nieśpielak in a Remigiusz Maciaszek podcast on YouTube . When the topic of a new Witcher 3 DLC came up, the YouTuber claimed that he had confirmed with multiple sources that the DLC would launch at The Game Awards 2025. This claim should, however, be taken with a grain of salt for a number of reasons, though.

For starters, at this point, The Witcher 3 released over a decade ago and has had multiple updates and expansions over the years. Additionally, aside from CDPR executives already confirming that there will be "no new content" at this year's The Game Awards show, CDPR has already announced the final update for The Witcher 3, although this has since been delayed to 2026 . Perhaps the new DLC that is being referenced in the YouTube leak is a surprise content expansion planned to launch alongside the final update, which is slated to bring cross-platform mod support to the game. It should be noted that this is not the first time we're hearing about a potential 2025 DLC for The Witcher 3. Earlier this year, rumors claimed that there was a new DLC coming that would add story details and bridge the gap between The Witcher 3 story to date and what's to come in The Witcher 4.
