Witcher 3 Rumored DLC Takes Geralt to Zerrikania: Dragons, Dragons, Dragons

Witcher 3's decade-old sequel just got a lore-hungry DLC promise—even if CD Projekt won't confirm it. Rumors point to a new expansion set in Zerrikania, a region from Andrzej Sapkowski's books and e-books, featuring dragons and two vast forests.

Poland reports developers previously expressed interest in the area, which has been referenced in the game through Letho's escape route and an alternative Ciri outfit DLC but never fully explored. CD Projekt Red remains silent, stating it 'does not comment on rumour or speculation.' Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077's Switch 2 port has sold 35M+ units, keeping the studio financially stable despite delays.

Zerrikania's mythic status in the source material adds weight to the speculation. The region is known for its dangerous terrain and ancient secrets, making it a natural fit for a lore-driven expansion.

Fans have long debated whether CD Projekt would expand the game's world beyond its original scope, given the studio's history of using subtle in-game hints for future projects.

The financial reality of monetizing a 10-year-old game through DLC also raises questions about the studio's strategy—especially after the mixed reception of Cyberpunk 2077's post-launch content.

The potential DLC would be available on PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series X/S and PC. While no official details exist, the pattern of unconfirmed rumors and cryptic references mirrors CD Projekt's approach to The Witcher 3's own expansion roadmap.

The studio's silence leaves fans in a familiar position: hopeful but cautious, balancing the desire for more Geralt adventures against the risk of unmet expectations.
