The Witcher 3 DLC Offers Almost As Much Playtime As The Witcher 2

The Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine DLC packs that are in the works for The Witcher 3 can measure themselves in terms of playtime with the length of The Witcher 2. A developer of the game speaks of a playing time of “10 to 20 o’clock”.

The news comes from an interview that gaming website Gamereactor held with Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. He says that the first expansion will add about ten hours of content and the second about 20 hours. “But they can get bigger,” he adds. “Then we focus on a few hours, and then it becomes twice as much.” So it is possible that the DLC will get even bigger, but that is not promised. Hearts of Stone, the first DLC pack, will be released sometime in the fall and Blood and Wine will follow in early 2016.

The expansion adds quests, characters, storylines, cutscenes, and new Gwent cards. Individual prices of the DLC packs are unknown, but the game’s season pass will cost $24.99 on Steam. The Witcher 3 itself has about 40 hours of content when players focus on the main story. In addition to the paid DLC, Polish developer CD Projekt Red regularly releases smaller, free DLC such as quests, weapons, and other gear.
