The news follows the announcement of a special ten-year anniversary stream for the Blood and Wine DLC, which was released on May 31, 2016. Rumors of new content had been circulating ahead of that stream, which remains one day away from the confirmation.

Fools Theory is a Polish developer that released the story-driven RPG The Thaumaturge in 2024. That title received fair to middling reviews from critics but proved popular with players on Steam. The studio is already working with CDPR on the remake of the original The Witcher, which was announced in 2022.

To support the new content, CDPR is updating the PC system requirements. The new specifications are: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8400; GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB; 6 GB VRAM; 12 GB RAM; 70 GB SSD storage; and 64-bit Windows 11. The developer noted it is no longer supporting HDD installs and will not test on Windows 10 because the OS is no longer officially supported by Microsoft.
CDPR stated that owners of older rigs that could barely run the game 12 years ago will likely need to upgrade.

These changes represent a doubling of RAM requirements from the original version and a tripling of VRAM demands. CDPR stated that owners of older rigs that could barely run the game 12 years ago will likely need to upgrade. The studio has not said whether these improvements will apply to the base game or provided details on the expansion's story content.
