CD
Projekt
Red’s
“unannounced”
project
with
Fool’s
Theory
may
not
be
so
mysterious
after
all.
According
to
a
very
reliable
Polish
Youtuber
with
over
a
million
subscribers,
the
two
studios
are
working
on
a
brand-new,
story-driven
DLC
for

The
Witcher
3:
The
Wild
Hunt
—
and
yes,
this
is
happening
ten
years
after
the
game’s
original
release.

Please
note,
all
quoutes
below

Youtube’s
own
transcription
and

translation
software.
As
such,
it
may
not
be
100%
accurate.

“It
turns
out
that
the
mysterious,
unannounced
project
by
CD
Projekt
Red
being
developed
by
Fool’s
Theory
is
a
story-driven
DLC
for
The
Witcher
3.”

“This
information
has
been
confirmed
by
several
independent
sources.”

The
report
comes
from
reliable
Polish
gaming
insider
Remigiusz
Maciaszek
(video
above)
who
has
been
sitting
on
the
info
for
a
while,
waiting
for
more
substantial
confirmation.
That
came
during
CDPR’s
recent
quarterly
results,
where
they
mentioned
a
collaboration
with
Fool’s
Theory
on
an
unannounced
project
—
enough
to
get
the
wheels
turning.

“For
me,
a
key
moment
was
CD
Projekt
mentioning
during
their
quarterly
results
that
they’re
working
on
an
unannounced
project
with
Fool’s
Theory,”
Remigiusz
Maciaszek
said.

“At
first,
I
couldn’t
believe
it
—
it
sounded
so
abstract.”

But
in
hindsight,
it’s
not
that
outlandish.
The
Witcher
3
recently
got
a
next-gen
update
and
continues
to
sell
well
nearly
a
decade
after
launch.

In
fact,
it
just
recently
topped
60
million
copies
sold,
putting
it
in
a
very
elite
class.
A
new
DLC,
even
this
late
in
the
game,
makes
a
lot
of
business
sense.

“Now,
a
very
important
thing:
we
need
to
separate
what
we

do
know
from
what
we

don’t
know,”
said
Remigiusz.

“We

know
that
this
is
DLC
for
The
Witcher
3.”

As
for
what’s
next,
the
timeline
is
reportedly
already
sketched
out.
First
come
mod
tools
for
consoles
–

which
we
got
very
recently
–
then
this
Witcher
3
DLC,
followed
by
The
Witcher
4,
and
eventually
the
Witcher
1
remake
which
has
been
rumoured
for
ages.

“We
know
the
order:
first
the
console
mods,
then
the
Witcher
3
DLC,
then
The
Witcher
4,
and
then
the
Witcher
1
Remake,”
Remigiusz
stated.

Almost
nothing
is
known
about
the
story
DLC,
but
Remigiusz
and
his
co-host
speculate
that
it
will
likely
be
a
bridge
between
the
events
of
The
Witcher
3
and
the
upcoming
Witcher
4
in
which
Ciri
is
the
main
character.

“I
bet
this
DLC
will
tease
or
steer
us
toward
The
Witcher
4
in
some
way
—
as
marketing
for
the
new
game.”

As
for
the
developer’s,
Fool’s
Theory
is
no
stranger
to
Geralt’s
world.
In
fact,
it
was
founded
by
some
of
the
core
developers
behind

The
Witcher
3,
including
lead
quest
designer
Jakub
Rokosz,
who
was
responsible
for
the
fan-favourite
“Ice
Giant”
quest.

No
official
announcement
has
been
made
by
CD
Projekt
Red
yet,
and
with
anything
like
this,
a
pinch
of
salt
is
recommended
—
but
given
the
calibre
of
the
team,
and
the
studio’s
continued
investment
in
the
Witcher
IP,
this
is
an
exciting
prospect.
If
true,
The
Witcher
3
may
be
getting
one
last
ride
into
battle
—
and
it
could
even
be
Geralt’s
big
last
hurrah
before
he
officially
hands
the
silver
sword
over
to
Ciri.
Although
Geralts
ending
has
already
happened
in
the
Blood
and
Wine
expansion,
so
this
is
likely
to
be
something
like
a
look
at
how
Ciri’s
got
her
new
powers
–
and
lost
her
old
ones.
