The DLC is just retired Geralt playing Gwent in Toussaint all day and all the new content is just more tournaments and decks 🙏
^Seriously though judging by the title I would expect some sort of flashback, probably some kind of prequel thing involving Ciri’s backstory to lead into Witcher 4.^
If that’s it, I’m so in!
I also have never played it and this might convince me to go back and check it out. I picked it up on Steam years ago for like five bucks.
Yeah same here. I keep meaning to, but there’s so many good games and I have limited screen time. About 50 hours in to baldur’s gate at the mo and looks like this is going to be a long one!
Or sirens?
While I’m always happy with new Witcher content I hope they don’t invalidate the perfect ending Gerald had in Blood & Wine
Good old Gerald :D
Damn, I REALLY need to finish the third one… I haven’t even finished the base campaign.
It’s not that I don’t like the game, I am fascinated by every part of it, and it’s been installed and updated on my computer for many years…
It’s just so in depth, I do not have the attention span and dedication I used to in optimizing builds for a game. I felt like I was on hard mode if I didn’t use the potions and sword oils and things, but I kept forgetting what to use, and that’s assuming I even had the right stuff on me to begin with…
That’s probably why I keep going back to skyrim more often, it’s combat is more simplified and casual. Which is funny because I always download mods to make the game more like the Witcher and improve combat…
I’ll finish it one day, in my most recent playfhrough I had just gotten to some giant squid creature in a swamp, and kept dying so I just didn’t keep playing anymore.
love it when studios randomly come back to a game years later with a new dlc like “hold on tim had a really cool idea while working on the next one so we’re gonna add it to the old one”
It happened with Half-Life 2! The game now includes both episodes and a developer commentary.
Didnt know about the commentary. Is it a track or does it play through the game?
If I recall it’s sorta both. Its interactive and voiced over.
Any other cases? Borderlands 2 comes to mind, its sequel marketing DLC was even free on release
A new xpac for Diablo II (2000) was released three months ago and Age of Empires II (1999) has had new xpacs released between 2013-2026 - those are the only two that come to my immediate mind.
Tangential, but I also love when they keep adding bugfixes decades after launch / last content updates.
yeah, shows that they actually give a damn about what they sold you. always nice to know that they’re gonna make sure what I paid for will still work right. it’s part of why I love indie games so much. you can reach out to the dev like 10 years after they stopped working on it and let them know about a minor bug and it’ll be fixed like the next day.
edit: spelling
Will this DLC remind me how to play the game?
I’ve restarted so often because of that. In so many games!
CDPR is about to serve us up the tutorial again, but with entirely new music.
Planned for 2027 …
If everything goes to plan.^^
Hoping this supercharges interest into the modding scene. The 2024 redkit release was way past the games popularity peak
I find the controls for Witcher 3 are key bad looking back (just stuff like Gerald’s movement kinematics and the response times)
So hopefully if they do this they can just do a bit of a polish pass too.
Did you ever try the “alternative movement” setting, which they added with one of the updates? Much faster response with that enabled.
No, I’ll have to check it out, thanks
I probably have enough time to do a single play through before this releases, this game took me so long the first time!
I hope it will be playable on a new game. I’ve finished the game on a Switch then sold the cart and gave away the console. I’m using a pc for all my gaming now.
On the plus side, Witcher III on PC is usually dirt cheap in a sale.
That’s why I’m not worried about the price, but the playability. Worse case scenario, I’ll have to replay a bit of the game. It’ll be a little fun seeing the game with some decent graphics for a change.
It’s also DRM free, even the steam version, so you can just copy it from a friend.
Dang I need to get back to this to play thru blood and wine first
