"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" has fans waiting for the upcoming DLC update, "Blood and Wine." It reportedly won't be out until next year, which is why not much about it is known. However, helping gamers idle away the hours is the rumor mill, which has new info on what the update has to offer.
It is being said that in the DLC, old and new creatures from Geralt's sprawling universe will make an appearance. Fans who read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, on which the video game series is based, would love to know that familiar beings from the books will be there.
According to Geek Snack, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" narrative designer Mateusz Tomaskiewicz was the one who broke that "Blood and Wine" DLC news during the recently concluded PAX Australia.
As per the aforementioned site, this concept opens the door for gamers to meet the video game counterpart of Duchess Anna Henrietta as well as the sorceress Fringilla Vigo owing to the fact that the setting of the DLC will allegedly be the region of Touissant.
There are also reports that there will be new monsters for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" players to take on in "Blood and Wine." Yibada says that the likes of Manticores, Bruxas and Strigas will challenge Geralt's might in the game. Never-before-seen horse breeds might also be included.
As fans await the coming of the DLC, which is said to be released as early as January 2016, fans can also twiddle their thumbs for a movie based on Sapkowski's books. The movie will be a collaborative project of Polish company Platige Films and "The Mummy" producer The Sean Daniel Company.
