Fans of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt have already enjoyed over fifteen FREE DLC packs which act almost as updates to the game that are added the course of months. They add content such as new quests, weapons, armors, and even alternative looks for main characters. The only DLC that players will have to pay for will be the two upcoming expansion packs for The Witcher 3, which are said to have added over 30 hours of new content
While many fans would gladly pay five dollars for this cosmetic change, they are probably glad they do not have to.
This is refreshing news as it begins to give us hope that some developers are going back toward early add-on content strategies such as the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Bethesda got a pretty decent backlash for trying to charge fifteen dollars for horse armor in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which was pretty ridiculous. Hopefully Bethesda and other companies will learn from CD Projekt RED’s example and keep creating great games full of content.
