Poland's largest video game developer CD Projekt will release a third story expansion for its flagship game "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" in 2027, it said on Wednesday, helping to bridge the gap before its next major title. CD Projekt's shares, which were trading up before the announcement, reversed course to fall around 4 per cent. Analyst Michał Wojciechowski from Ipopema Securities said the market had expected the expansion to be released in 2026.
The expansion's release date also poses a question on whether the launch of the widely anticipated fourth part of the Witcher game series could be pushed to 2028, instead of the 2027 release expected by the market, Wojciechowski said.
