Genres: Role-playing (RPG), Adventure


Officially, it’s just a celebration stream. Unofficially? Some players are convinced this could be where a new Witcher 3 DLC gets revealed.

Before you get your hopes up: this is all speculation based on leaks and fan theories – nothing has been confirmed by CDPR.


TL;DR
  • CDPR hosting Witcher 3 livestream on May 28
  • Official purpose: celebrate Blood and Wine
  • Rumors suggest possible new DLC announcement
  • Leaked images + SteamDB changes fuel speculation
  • No official confirmation – treat as rumor

What CD Projekt Red Actually Confirmed

Let’s start with facts.

CDPR confirmed a livestream focused on Blood and Wine, featuring developers reflecting on the expansion.

Official message: A retrospective look at one of the best RPG expansions ever made.

No mention of:

  • New DLC
  • New content updates
  • Witcher 4 connections

At least not officially.


So Where Did the DLC Rumors Come From?

This is where things get interesting – and messy.

Several pieces of “evidence” started circulating online:

  • Alleged RED Launcher leak showing new DLC
  • Unverified screenshots shared via social media
  • Recent SteamDB changes for The Witcher 3

None of these have been officially verified.

Important: The leaked images reportedly come from third-party sources and could be fake, outdated, or misinterpreted.


SteamDB Activity – Coincidence or Clue?

One of the biggest talking points is the recent activity spotted on SteamDB.

Some users claim they’ve never seen similar changes before, especially so close to:

  • The RED livestream
  • CDPR’s fiscal call

But here’s the reality:

  • SteamDB updates can happen for many reasons
  • Backend changes don’t always mean new content
  • Without context, it’s impossible to confirm what they mean

Could a New Witcher 3 DLC Actually Happen?

It’s not impossible – but it would be surprising.

The Witcher 3 is:

  • Nearly a decade old
  • Considered a complete experience
  • Already received major expansions (Hearts of Stone & Blood and Wine)

That said, there are rumors suggesting:

  • A smaller DLC to bridge into The Witcher 4
  • Content tied to next-gen updates or anniversary celebrations

Still, nothing concrete.


Why Fans Are Paying Attention

Even if the rumors are shaky, the timing is what fuels speculation:

  • Major livestream announcement
  • Ongoing Witcher 4 development
  • Recent technical updates and backend activity

It creates the perfect storm for “maybe something is happening.”


Final Thoughts – Don’t Get Carried Away (Yet)

Right now, everything points to this being:

A celebration stream… that fans are hoping turns into something more.

Could CDPR surprise everyone with new DLC? Sure.

But until we hear it directly from them, this remains pure speculation based on leaks and guesses.

May 28 will tell us everything we need to know.
