Today, CD Projekt RED has released information on the DLC for their newest game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The best part is something you might not see coming.

In an open letter from CD Projekt RED, Co-founder and Joint CEO Marcin Iwiński had this to say:

“We love games. We love collecting them, playing them, and everything connected to that experience. Every time we reach out for a new release, we expect to be taken care of. We expect support if we encounter any problems, we love updates constantly improving the experience, and we feel really special when we receive free content that gives us more than we initially paid for. It doesn’t have to be huge, it can be an awesome skin for a character, or an extra sword, or armor. Unfortunately this treatment is quite rare these days. As gamers, we nowadays have to hold on tight to our wallets, as surprisingly right after release, lots of tiny pieces of tempting content materialize with a steep price tag attached. Haven’t we just paid a lot of cash for a brand new game? As CD PROJEKT RED, we strongly believe this is not the way it should work and, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we have decided to do it differently. Cutting to the chase, everyone who buys Wild Hunt will receive 16 specially prepared DLCs absolutely for free, regardless of platform. You don’t have to pre-order, you don’t have to buy any special edition to get them — if you own a copy of Wild Hunt, they’re yours. This is our way of saying thank you for buying our game.”

Regards,

Marcin

In short, CD Projekt RED will release all 16 pieces of DLC for free. Starting the day after the game is released, players will receive two pieces of DLC each week. This mean that there will be 2 months worth of free DLC. It could be horse armor, an extra sword, or even a brand new quest.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will arrive to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 24, 2015.

My Opinion:

This is awesome. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Bloodborne are releasing close together, so I was trying to decide which game to get. I was already leaning towards The Witcher 3, but this news just pushed it off the cliff. CD Projekt RED continues to show how things should be done.
