The First Expansion For ‘The Witcher 3’ To Launch In October!

Briefly: I literally can’t even.

The Witcher 3 is probably the best RPG that I’ve ever played (or at least, way, way up there). I’ve put more time into it than any other game in recent memory (50+ hours so far), and I’m not anywhere near completing the story, let alone all of the endless amazing side quests or Gwent challenges.

Apparently, I better get on it. Following the endless stream of free DLC and endless notable updates (thanks again to CD Projekt Red for adding in a colorblind mode), the first proper expansion for the title has officially been revealed.

Subtitled Hearts of Stone, the expansion will deliver “10 hours of new adventures that introduces new characters, powerful monsters, unique romance, and a brand new storyline shaped by player choices. The expansion also introduces a brand-new system of Runewords that significantly affects gameplay. Each Runeword will impact different aspects of in-game mechanics, allowing players to experiment with various strategies and tactics.”

The expansion will launch digitally on October 13th for a cool $19.99. Incredibly enough, collector’s will also “be able to purchase a special, limited boxed edition of Hearts of Stone (SRP $19.99) available at selected retailers worldwide. The box contains a digital download code for the expansion, two masterfully crafted physical decks of Gwent, the card game set in the world of The Witcher, as well as a detailed manual explaining the rules. With two unique sets of cards, Monsters and Scoia’tael ready to go, you and your friends can now engage in tactical combat on a grand scale outside of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!”

Freaking real Gwent cards. I’m in!
