CDPR warns against expecting Witcher 4 expansions amid ambitious Six-Year plan

If you were banking on Witcher 4 expansions rivalling Blood and Wine, CD Projekt Red has some sobering news.

Witcher 4 expansions not on the cards

CD Projekt Red joint CEO Michał Nowakowski addressed the expansion question directly during a recent earnings call, and he didn’t mince words. The studio has committed to releasing three Witcher games within six years, and that kind of timeline leaves little room for major post-launch DLC.

“It would be difficult, to be very honest, for us to add an expansion to the upcoming trilogy,” Nowakowski said. “This is where we are here and now with this particular issue.”

It’s an understandable position. Witcher 4 expansions of the Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine calibre demand enormous development time, time CDPR simply won’t have if it’s already racing toward two more sequels.

A packed pipeline leaves little room

The sheer scale of what CDPR is building makes this even clearer. Witcher 4 already has at least 499 developers working on it, including a senior Baldur’s Gate 3 developer who recently joined the team.

Juggling Witcher 4 expansions alongside back-to-back sequels was never going to be realistic. It stings a little, but CDPR deserves credit for managing expectations this early rather than going quiet and disappointing fans later down the line.
