The Witcher 3: Wine and Blood is, sadly, the final bit of content planned for CD Projekt Red’s RPG epic, as the studio shifts all it has behind its latest project, Cyberpunk 2077. Thankfully, Blood and Wine is a substantial piece of content to accompany the already massive base game, adding a piece of land as large as the Skellige Island and giving you even more nasty monsters to hunt down and take trophies from. And sure, there’s some talking in-between all that too.
For a long whole now though the release date for this expansion has been kept under wraps. Previously it was rumoured that it would launch before E3 next month, and a fresh new one seems to confirm that. Leaking over the weekend, the Steam store page for Blood and Wine seemed to go up prematurely, revealing a May 30th release date for the add-on. It was quickly taken down, but not before same savvy gamers got a snap of it.
That would mean that the expansion is just three weeks away, which lends credibility to the previous rumour about it launching before the massive trade show next month. It’s likely CD Projekt Red just weren’t ready to make the announcement when the page went up, but it’s likely something a lot more formal will come about sometime this week.
Blood and Wine won’t only be offering up more content to the Witcher 3 either. The developers have previously detailed how they’re bringing some visual and gameplay improvements to The Witcher 3 with the expansion, which will permeate into the base game too. And if the actual content is anything like the previous expansion, Heart of Stone, you’re in for a real treat.
Blood and Wine is coming to all three Witcher 3 platforms, and looks almost definitely that it’s coming out this month. Start preparing Geralt again.

Yes, I wonder when the CE will be revealed. My money can’t fly out my wallet fast enough.

Oh hell yeah! Now I only have to prepare mentally for jumping back into the vast areas of Geralt of Rivia’s adventure, actually, I think I should do a playthrough from scratch….Yes, yes….

So from scratch, all the way through, to the NG+? That’ll take….four and two, times the eight and the twelve….four years?

Doing a new game+ and I realised that I am not ready to start a different RPG game yet. It pretty much ruined good RPG games that I really enjoyed but I cannot replay them because of W3.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is one of them. It is a great game but W3 just made it an average rpg game and I just cannot get to play DA:I again… sigh

Dude! So much!! I made the mistake of trying to play DA:I after I’d finished TW3, I can see that is is quite a brilliant game, but I just can’t get into it, also I played through TW3 enjoying every single bit of it, I haven’t come across another game to grip like it did… It is simply put, the best RPG I’ve ever played…

I started a new game plus new play through. Doing it on Death March , wasn’t easy but by the time i got to the Barron it started flowing nicely

SHEEESH!! I’m still too afraid of trying Death March, not for myself, but that I might be punching my screen or anything that manages to pass by me while constantly dying…

It’s not as hard a Bloodborne/Souls game. Death isn’t nearly as constant as in them.

Heh, Bloodborne….*starts crying*
Still haven’t finished it…and very glad my PS4 controller is as sturdy as it is…

I…I don’t know what to say to this…. I don’t know whether I should congratulate you for your high threshold for self torture or your amazing ability to fight in the game…

Forget about the real important questions like Triss or Yen, save the children or let them die, find ciri or not…these are unimportant. Your real quest will be to help an old lady rescue her frying pan or not.

I actually did just that quest thingy last night. I thought it was quite a nice touch from the developers and goes a way to show Geralt can be a nice guy if the price is right.
Also: Consider I said I finally started seriously playing the game this weekend. So a light hand when it comes to spoilers would be awesome!
Thanks.

Enjoy the experience buddy. The hardest part of the game for me was doing a quest and getting side track by that building over there and then on the next hill there was something else. As to spoilers it’s hard to spoil anything as there is 36 “different endings”
