This means that players may finally be able to get their hands on the newest expansion as early as April and no later than June if the rumors prove to be correct.
Even though the developers have yet to announce a firm release date for "Blood and Wine," they have still provided enough details to give fans a decent idea of what to expect.
In an interview with GameSpot, CD Projekt Red Marketing Lead Michal Platkow-Gilewski talked about some of the new content that will be featured in the expansion.
According to Platkow-Gilewski, the upcoming expansion will feature new monsters, quests, and additional areas that players can explore.
Platkow-Gilewski also indicated that the new area in "Blood and Wine" known as Toussaint will also be quite expansive, indicating that it is comparable in scale to the other regions present in the base game.
In addition to the new monsters, quests, and unique locations, "The Witcher 3" composer Marcin Przybyłowicz also added that more characters and storylines will soon be added via the "Blood and Wine" expansion.
In an interview with Gamepressure, Przybyłowicz revealed that the new areas, characters, and storylines would also be given their own distinct musical tracks as opposed to reusing the ones that may already have been featured in the base game.
The game's developers have previously indicated that all the new content featured in the upcoming "Blood and Wine" expansion will amount to 20 additional hours of gameplay for gamers to enjoy.
More news about "The Witcher 3" and its upcoming "Blood and Wine" expansion should be made available soon.
