For those still enjoying the weekly DLC offerings that CD Projekt is continually adding to The Witcher 3, there are still two larger content expansions waiting for us in the future. The exact size of those add-ons hasn’t been discussed, though we know they should be substantial. Yesterday, in an interview with Game reactor, game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz revealed that they would be around 10-20 hours in length.

Though he stressed they could be even more, no doubt due to them still being in development, he interestingly compared the expansions to The Witcher 2 in size. He’s not too far off, since the Roche path of the second game only takes a good 10-15 hours to finish, which was something that disappointed me at first. Here’s hoping they’ll instead be more like Iorveth’s path, which took me twice that time. It’s unclear if by “size” he means length or world-size, though I’m leaning towards the former rather than the latter.

The expansion packs will be whole new storylines with all the elements you’ve got in the main story (like cutscenes, new characters, new items, new Gwent cards) and many, many more. They will be quite long. The first expansion will be around 10 hours and the second expansion will be around 20 hours… and I think it’s possible that they will be bigger, because it’s always like this (that when we plan some time or hours, it’s twice or something like this), but I’m not promising anything right now. And even now, if you sum up this 10 to 20 hours and you compare it to The Witcher 2, it’s almost the size of The Witcher 2. And it will be cool, it will be new stories, it will be very emotional stories and I think that people will be happy.

The first of the two expansions, Hearts of Stone will launch this Fall, with the second one, Blood and Wine, releasing early next year.
