When CD Projekt Red says “everything is a possibility,” that is PR speak, and everyone knows it is PR speak, and CD Projekt Red knows that everyone knows it is PR speak. So why say it at all? Because sometimes the point is to keep a door conspicuously open rather than slam it shut.
The question being posed to CDPR representatives, repeatedly and from multiple directions, is whether the studio might shadow drop a new Witcher 3 expansion without any prior announcement. Their answer has consistently been some version of the above non-answer. Not a no. Deliberately not a no.
There is context here that makes the speculation more than empty noise. Witcher 3 was re-released in late 2022 with a free next-gen upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, adding ray tracing, faster load times, a Photo Mode, and a DLC quest tied to the Netflix show. That re-release was itself a project that required meaningful developer time. The game has never really stopped selling. It sits comfortably in Steam top sellers years after launch, and the next-gen version gave it a second wind.
More relevant is what comes next for CDPR. The Witcher 4, officially codenamed Polaris, is in active development with Ciri as the lead character for the first time. Geralt, as far as official communications go, has had his story told. But that does not mean there is nothing left to tell. Blood and Wine, the second major expansion for Witcher 3, was widely considered the best send-off Geralt could have asked for. A surprise epilogue, something that ties his story to the world Ciri is about to inherit, would carry genuine emotional weight.
Whether this is a PR team keeping fans engaged while the studio focuses on Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, or whether something is actually in development that they are not ready to talk about, is genuinely unclear. CDPR has shadow dropped things before. They are not above it.
File this under plausible rather than confirmed, but do not file it under impossible.
