The Witcher 3 is the gift that keeps on giving, but if you can’t fathom another playthrough, why not treat yourself to an entirely new adventure via expansion mods?
CD Projekt Red was cooking with gas when it crafted The Witcher 3. It’s arguably one of the greatest video games of all-time as well as the gold-standard when it comes to compelling open world RPGs. it’s also got celebrity endorsement from stars like Henry Cavill, who’s Team Yennefer in case you were wondering.

While the main story is phenomenal, CD Projekt Red was far from finished by the time the credits rolled, as two DLC expansions were released following the game’s release, Hearts Of Stone and Blood & Wine, both of which are bangers.
Now the latter is considered one of the best game expansions ever made, and it’s hard to disagree, though fans have somehow made it even better with an expansion mod that adds new content to the DLC. That’s right, an expansion within an expansion, wild.
It consists of three mods that you need to download separately, but combine into something truly special. The first expands the borders of Toussaint, the area you explore in the DLC, with new land and locations to visit. Next there’s the mod that adds a brand-new quest to the game, which introduces new characters, all of which are fully voice-acted, as well as new rewards for seeing the quest through to the end. Finally, there’s a mod that adds another quest for the mountain area of the DLC, again, the new characters are voice-acted and there’s a sweet prize to claim at the end.
The quality of this expansion is astounding, so much so that you could almost believe it was an official add-on from CD Projekt Red itself.
If anything it’s worth downloading purely to spice up any repeated playthroughs, especially while we wait for The Witcher 4 to drop.
