Shortly before The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was launched, CD PROJEKT RED announced that 16 The Witcher 3 DLC (downloadable content) packs would be released one per week for free to those who purchased today. It took a bit longer than 16 weeks but with the release of today’s new Game+ mode DLC all 16 DLC packs are available on all systems the game is playable on.
“We’ve been releasing free DLCs since launch, and today’s release of New Game +, the 16th and last of them, marks a special moment for us and, I hope, for all Wild Hunt fans as well. They can now restart their adventure and see how the story turns out if they make different choices than on their first play-through,” says Marcin Iwiński, co-founder, CD PROJEKT RED. “I’d like to extend my thanks to all the gamers who played our game and gave these DLCs a try. Nothing makes a developer happier than seeing gamers have fun with what they created,” Iwiński adds, noting that “I would really like to see such initiatives become an industry standard rather than an exception to the general rule, and I hope that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has set a good example.”

- Temerian Armor Set
