Developers at CD Projekt RED seems to be very busy working on one "Witcher 3" content after another if not simultaneously.

Just recently, according to Gematsu, CD Projekt RED has released two screenshots from the upcoming "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" expansion "Blood and Wine." Along with the two new screenshots, CD Projekt RED game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz was quoted, "It's a massive new land to explore, visually unlike anything you saw in Wild Hunt or Hearts of Stone, and it too is brimming with stories we want you to discover." From the two screenshots fans are teased with how awesome the upcoming expansion is expected to be.

While "Blood and Wine" is expected to release in the first quarter of 2016, CD Projekt RED has began hinting about additional plans for the popular title in 2016. According to CG Mag, a translated interview between Polish show "Money" and Adam Kicinski CEO of CD Projekt RED reveals that he developers has big plans for "Witcher 3."

Kicinski reportedly has said in the interview, "This and the next year will be devoted to The Witcher. Apart from the second expansion we have some additional ideas. They should help us animate sales in 2016. The game is selling so well, that we are convinced there are still many people who will buy it if we promote it further."

He has reportedly admitted that the company has been working on another RPG titled "Cyberpunk 2077" which Kicinski describes as "a completely different reality, set in the future, with corporations and morally grey world." He added that they have a release date already but it will not be announced until they are ready to market the said title. However, the CEO of CD Projekt RED assures "Witcher 3" fans that the company's focus is still on "The Witcher" and they don't want dedicated users to get sidetracked by a new title.

The interview has also given the "Witcher 3" fan base a boost in confidence as CD Projekt RED has revealed how they view their fans. According to Kicinski, "We don't want to exploit gamers for their money (which is what many other gaming companies do) and that's why we don't want to become a part of a larger structure." Simply put the company care so much about its "Witcher 3" fan base that it continues to strive to keep the DLCs free.
