The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has received 16 pieces of DLCs since its launch in May. All of which were promised, and they were all delivered to players on a weekly basis for no additional charge.
New Game+ was just added to Wild Hunt as the last of developer CD Projekt Red’s free post-release downloadable content. It’s a cool final addition, since many people (like me) have finished the game and might want to try it again and make different decisions. And maybe see if they can keep from screwing it up with Triss and Yen this time.
Developer CD Projekt RED is very happy with players’ response and hopes its DLC policy changes something in the industry. “I would really like to see such initiatives become an industry standard rather than an exception to the general rule,” says co-founder Marcin Iwiński.
“I hope that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has set a good example.”
While some may argue that most of the DLC drops were cosmetic and not meaty game content, releasing them for free in this day and age remains largely unprecedented. Then there’s the game’s expansion pass, which has a price less than that of most AAA games with the promise of large amounts of content.
Thanks,
