The Witcher 3's Expansions Are Almost as Big as the Whole of The Witcher 2

The game that keeps on giving

by Robert Ramsey Thu 9th Jul 2015

Once again coming out with bold claims that we can actually believe, CD Projekt Red has revealed in an interview with Gamereactor that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's upcoming expansions will be "almost the size of The Witcher 2".

Dishing out juicy bits of information was the Polish developer's Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who spilled plenty of beans regarding the role-playing game's future content. "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," he told the publication.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Do you think that Geralt's latest will keep on giving, or have you had enough of this particular adventure? Contemplate how much family time you're missing in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I love this game and with a somewhat shallow summer release schedule, I'll be sure to finally finish this. As for the expansions, I'll buy them but may not get to them for awhile with fallout, FIFA, pes, and others releasing.

So nothing new about the DLC we didn't know before the game released???? That's exactly what they said MONTHS ago

Considering you could easily spend 200hrs on the disc game (I spent 150hrs and never completed the gwent, racing or fist fighting quests - and still have a lot of ?'s too, 30hrs is tiny - nowhere near as large as the disc content! I am sure I spent more than 50-60hrs on the Witcher 2 so I don't see how this can be as large either and that was more linear as well. I spent more than 10 hours in the first open area after leaving Kaer Morhen (the training section)

I'm gunna get back into this, need to finish it off! Having said that it still runs rather poorly on PS4, it really should be played on PC I suppose.

Maybe eventually. There's just so much to the game that although it is awesome, I'll probably want to take a break from it for a while after finishing the main game.
