The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will offer all players 16 bits of downloadable content completely free of charge, CD Projekt Red has announced.
The first bundle of DLC features two bits of content – the Temerian Armor Set and a Beard and Hairstyle Set for Geralt – and is scheduled to launch on February 25 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
A new bundle of two DLCs will be released free of charge each week.
Pack two will offer an additional quest and an alternative look for one of the game’s main characters – Yennefer of Vengerberg.
“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 armour,” said CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin IwiÅ„ski.
“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.”
Instructions on how to obtain DLCs on specific platforms will be provided at a later date. It’s also not clear if pre-owned copies of the game will receive the free DLC.
