ComicsThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt -- 16 free DLCs for everyone!
November / 06 / 2014
Open Letter from Marcin Iwiński, co-founder and Joint CEO of CD PROJEKT RED.“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
The FREE DLC program for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt consists of 16 entirely free DLCs, that will be available for every gamer owning a copy of Wild Hunt, for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PC, and PlayStation®4, and is applicable to all versions (digital or physical, standard or Collector’s).
On May 20th we will release the first bundle of DLCs (2 of the planned 16) -- the Temerian Armor Set (horse armor included) and a Beard and Hairstyle Set for Geralt, the game’s protagonist. After this date, a DLC bundle consisting of two DLCs will be published every week, entirely for free. Gamers are entitled to the free DLC regardless of obtaining the game via pre-order or after launch. Instructions on how to obtain DLCs on specific platforms will be provided at a later date.
For additional details about the 16 FREE DLC program, please refer to the below Q&A
Q: What do I have to do to receive the 16 free DLCs?
A: The only thing you need to do to receive the 16 DLCs is purchase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. All of the DLCs will be available for free on every platform (i.e. Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4).
Q: Do I have to pre-order to get the free DLCs?
A: No, each piece of content will be available for download regardless of you buying the game before or after launch on May 19th, 2015.
Q: I have the standard version of the game (i.e. not the Collector’s Edition). Do I still get the free DLCs?
A: Yes. You get the 16 DLCs regardless of the version of the game you bought (i.e. standard or Collector's, digital or physical).
Q: What’s the plan? When can I expect the DLCs to be released?
A: The plan is to release a new DLC bundle (each bundle contains two DLCs) on a weekly basis, following the game’s launch May 19th, 2015. The first DLC bundle will be released the next day on May 20th. The next bundle will be available for download a week after that, on May 27th, the next on June 3rd, and so on. The first bundle will contain the Temerian Armor Set and a Beard and Hairstyle Set for Geralt. The second bundle will contain an additional quest and an alternative look for one of the game’s main characters -- Yennefer of Vengerberg.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available for pre-order at buy.thewitcher.com.

just want to say that this developer keeps surprising me,
this is rarely seen or even never been seen before, except maybe low priced dlc or free dlc to apologize for crooked launch dates like Ubisoft :p but free content announcements prior to the actual release?
Thats gotta be the first time ever ...
Hats of
Kind regards

Refreshing to see a Developer take a stance for gamers. Been burned by so many games in the last year. I hope the Witcher 3 breaks that trend for me. Thank you CDPR. I look forward to playing your game.
Personally I am very glad to see that there are so many opinions that are positive and encouraging the developers to do what they're doing, and that's being awesome. Sure they could have released the game on the date set before, but then it would have major bugs and we would all be kind of disappointed with the optimization. They're taking it slow but sure, making the third installment of the Witcher series, one of my favorite franchises ever, the best that they can, and that is something that should be respected and admired. I cannot wait to play The Witcher 3, I have pre-purchased it on Steam a long time ago and I am sticking with it. I can't wait to have several thousand hours on it on Steam. You're doing great, guys! I believe in CPDR and Witcher 3!

Posted by: AndreasZ »I say, anywhere from $39.99 to $29.99, $24.99, $19.99. / $14.99 seems to cheap, if it's new locations with 20 hours or so of fresh gameplay.
A really big dlc for around $15 would be nice. If cd project red ever requires you to pay for dlc you can expect to get your moneys worth.
It has to be really good quality that lives up to the rest of the games quality tho. CDPR knows what's worth what, but as of now... I just want to play the wild hunt, I hope it's fun! ;)

I think with multiple play through , all formula, Diagram, Creature Hunting , all side quest ! It will be quite some time. I think rather than a DLC, information about the cyberpunk 2077 and some much needed development time will help as i don't people can wait more for information. they can work on cyberpunk 2077 solely and in 3 year or less try to shape it. :hmm:

Great program, I like the agenda :). Wouldn't be a great idea to release all DLCs at launch, this way we get new content each week and it's good to have new stuff coming for a game. What I'd like to know is what they plan to do after all those DLCs will be out.

What they could have done with Erdin is have the old model as his regal attire that he uses casualy. Then the new outfit for when he goes into battle.

Dol Blathanna's elves are not really free. Their are Emyr's pawns, a Nilfgaard province.
Yes, I made a mistake...Elves from Blue Mountains are actually called "free"...Ida Emean is one of them...But I guess there is no real freedom anywhere :D

That being said I would love to finally see Franchesca Findabair - the elves Queen and most beautiful woman in Witcher lore.
Yupp...Enid and her ocelots - that would be a meeting ;)
