Witcher 3 Expansion
While CD Projekt Red focuses on the future with The Witcher 4, the legendary Witcher Geralt of Rivia is poised for a return to the Continent sooner than expected—thanks to the passion of the modding community. A talented group of fans is deep in development on The Last Sacrifice, a substantial, fan-made DLC expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that will serve as a brand-new prequel adventure.
First announced in 2025, The Last Sacrifice is an ambitious project that aims to recapture the magic of the original game. The expansion promises to introduce a completely new region for players to explore, reportedly comparable in size to the introductory area of White Orchard. This new land will be filled with fresh narratives, featuring several new quests and a bestiary of unique monsters that will require adapted strategies to defeat.
Beyond exploration and combat, the modding team is crafting a holistic experience. The Last Sacrifice will include an original musical score to set the atmosphere, and—in a beloved tradition—new Gwent cards to collect and duel with. Regular updates on the project’s Facebook page and Discord server keep the community informed, though a public release window has not yet been set.
It is crucial to distinguish this project from rumored official DLC. While speculation persists that CD Projekt Red may release a canonical expansion to bridge The Witcher 3 and the upcoming sequel, The Last Sacrifice is a purely fan-driven labor of love. It demonstrates the enduring dedication of the fanbase and their desire to continue creating within the rich world CDPR built.

CD Projekt Red has showcased impressive technology for The Witcher 4 (codenamed Polaris), including a stunning tech demo set in the kingdom of Kovir, but a release date remains years away. For veterans looking for a reason to don the silver sword once more before then, The Last Sacrifice represents a promising and heartfelt return to the world of Geralt, crafted by the very players who love it most.
