The Witcher 3 still holds up as one of the best open-world games ever made some 11 years after its release, and arguably its best expansion, Blood and Wine, is exemplary of some of the game’s finest quest design and writing. That’s not just me saying that, by the way, as developer CD Projekt Red is on the record as saying the expansion itself is right up there with the studio’s best work.
In a tweet celebrating 10 years of Blood and Wine, CDPR takes a trip down memory lane. “From the peaceful halls of Corvo Bianco to the battle under a full moon, Blood and Wine remains one of our most unforgettable projects,” CDPR says. “Today, we raise a glass to the stories, characters, and battles that made Toussaint a place like no other. Thank you for joining us on this journey! Here’s to a decade of adventure.”
It’s a testament to the gorgeous region of Toussaint and the writing itself that, even after Cyberpunk 2077 transformed itself from the janky mess it was at launch to one of the most celebrated open-world games of the 2020s, Blood and Wine is still widely considered one of CDPR’s best projects.
Of course, it’s old news by now that The Witcher 3 is getting a surprise new expansion next year, coincidentally 11 years after Blood and Wine, aptly titled Songs of the Past. We also know The Witcher 4 is on the way without an official release date, making The Witcher 3 (with or without Blood and Wine) the perfect game to play or revisit while you wait for those and all of the other upcoming CDPR games we know are in development.
After Witcher 3’s new expansion, CD Projekt Red teases more “unannounced projects” are at “advanced stages of development” and could release this year
