The Witcher 3 returns in surprise new DLC you can download free

Everyone thought they were done with The Witcher 3, but it isn’t done with us.

The popular CD Projekt Red title has returned via a new DLC that’s available to download right now and is absolutely free.

The Witcher 3 may be eight years old, but it still has the ability to surprise us.

For players beginning a new playthrough, there are still new secrets to discover that we had no idea existed.

However, if you believe you’ve explored every inch of its map, there’s another way to get your Witcher fix.

Balatro is one of the most memorable experiences of 2024, not least of all because it blew our minds with its “chaotically brilliant” rogue-like take on poker.

GAMINGbible’s Dan Lipscombe spoke of how “remarkably engaging” the game is, eventually scoring it an eight out of 10 for its excellence.

We believed that our time with Balatro was finished, which was a hard pill to swallow.

However, much like with The Witcher 3, there’s more tales to tell.

On 27 August, fans were surprised by the announcement that a Balatro and Witcher 3 collaboration is now available for all players who want to get their Gwent on (kind of).

Balatro’s creator, known as LocalThunk, made the big reveal following its unveiling at the latest Nintendo Direct and Indie World showcase.

“I had to keep this secret for SO LONG,” they posted on Twitter, “But I am incredibly excited to announce some collabs with other amazing games!”

As far as fans are concerned, this is the “best news of the entire Direct”.

It isn’t just returning players who are excited, those who’ve only heard of the game via reviews and/or friends are also eager to play.

“Well, this worked because now I'll be buying Balatro despite having no idea how to play it or general interest in card games. Keep up the great work!” commented Shawn Matthews, also on Twitter.

The surprising but fantastically brilliant Balatro x The Witcher 3 is available right now, don’t forget. And as mentioned earlier, it’ll cost you nothing to play.
