CD Projekt RED is renowned for its generosity regarding its consumers and its games, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is no exception. In typical fashion, the Witcher developer will be offering up free added content to the base game of the upcoming addition to the Witcher series, with 16 DLC packs that’ll be made available for everyone who buys a copy of the game.
Needless to say, that means that 16 entirely free add-ons will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC versions of The Witcher 3 , as well as for all different editions; digital or physical, standard or Collector’s. Unfortunately, not all of these 16 DLC packs will be available at once, they’ll instead be staggered across the year of when The Witcher 3 releases in.
CD Projekt RED currently plans to release two of the 16 DLCs in the first of many bundles on Wednesday, February 25 next year, the day after The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt officially releases. Two DLCs will be released as a bundle every week thereafter until all 16 add-ons have been released.
The first DLC bundle will include the “ Temerian Armor Set ” (which also includes armor for your horse) and the “ Beard and Hairstyle Set ” for the game’s main character, Geralt. What’s more is that everyone is entitled to obtain these free DLCs, regardless of whether they pre-ordered the game or bought it at / after launch. Information on how to redeem the DLCs on specific platforms will be provided at a later date.
“We love games. We love collecting them, playing them, and everything connected to that experience. Every time we reach out for a new release, we expect to be taken care of, ” said CD Projekt RED’s co-founder Marcin Iwiński in a press release. “ We expect support if we encounter any problems, we love updates constantly improving the experience, and we feel really special when we receive free content that gives us more than we initially paid for. It doesn’t have to be huge, it can be an awesome skin for a character, or an extra sword, or armor.
Unfortunately this treatment is quite rare these days, ” Iwiński continued . “ As gamers, we nowadays have to hold on tight to our wallets, as surprisingly right after release, lots of tiny pieces of tempting content materialize with a steep price tag attached. Haven’t we just paid a lot of cash for a brand new game?
As CD PROJEKT RED, we strongly believe this is not the way it should work and, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , we have decided to do it differently. Cutting to the chase, everyone who buys Wild Hunt will receive 16 specially prepared DLCs absolutely for free, regardless of platform. You don’t have to pre-order, you don’t have to buy any special edition to get them – if you own a copy of Wild Hunt, they’re yours. This is our way of saying thank you for buying our game. ”
