While not officially confirmed, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s upcoming expansion pack entitled Blood and Wine may have a release date of June 7.
According to WCCF Tech, Polish gaming website GRYOnline listed the release date for the DLC as “07 czerwca 2016,” or June 7, 2016, if you do not speak Polish. Now, this could be speculation or just a placeholder since if you visit GRYOnline’s website now, Blood and Wine’s release date now reads “not yet announced.”
Developer CD Projekt Red has not confirmed the June 7 release date, but the second expansion pack is slated for release in the first half of 2016, so it would fit within the timeline.
What we do know is that Blood and Wine will introduce a new area of The Witcher 3 called Toussaint, and contain over 20-plus-hours of additional content. This would be almost double the size of first expansion pack, Hearts of Stone, which added 10-plus hours to the game.
Hearts of Stone was released back in October 2015, and took Geralt to the wilds of No Man’s Land and introduced a new mysterious character called the Man of Glass.
Currently you can purchase Hearts of Stone for $9.99 for PC, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, while the upcoming Blood and Wine will cost $19.99, or you can purchase both expansion packs together in a bundle for $24.99.
So June 7 may or may not be the magic date for all you Witcher fans, but it looks like regardless, we still have a couple months to wait before diving into the land of Toussaint.
