CD Projekt Red confirms Witcher 4 release in 2028 and teases new Witcher 3 DLC, as modders expand Red Dead Redemption 2 with a detailed Mexico expansion.
While much of the gaming landscape might typically be consumed by release updates and tiny patches, today brings us a significant piece of news from a major industry player. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 4 is targeting a release in 2028. This revelation casts a long shadow over the current gaming landscape, suggesting another substantial wait before players can explore more of Geralt—or whatever new protagonist might come along in the Witcher universe.
The news, sourced from Rock Paper Shotgun, also teases a new DLC for The Witcher 3, titled “Songs of the Past,” which promises a “dark story.” It’s intriguing to see continued content support for The Witcher 3, a game that has already left a significant mark on gaming despite being released over a decade ago.
Modding in the Spotlight
Meanwhile, on the modding front, the community-driven expansion of Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to break new ground. According to Rock Paper Shotgun, a detailed new mod titled “Nuevo Paraiso” is set to release next month, offering players a chance to explore a richly re-imagined Mexican landscape. This fills a gap that many players felt when the initial game map did not extend south of the US border, aligning with the legacy of the first Red Dead Redemption.
Co-op Games and Community Updates
In other PC gaming news, the realm of co-op games continues to expand with updates and new content. GamingOnLinux reports that “Ancient Dungeon” has received an update adding the much-coveted Steam Frame support alongside bug fixes, enhancing its playability for cooperative gaming enthusiasts.
How to Fish, another co-op title making waves for its bizarre gameplay, updated to include private lobbies, eight-player support, and measures to deter griefing, as detailed by Rock Paper Shotgun. Its peculiar mix of macabre fun continues to capture the curiosity of players.
Technical Fixes and Support Tools
For Linux gaming enthusiasts, there’s a small but important update: a new patch for “Wuthering Waves” as covered by GamingOnLinux. The release of dwproton-11.0-12 resolves compatibility issues that had plagued the game on SteamOS and Linux.
And lastly, if you’re in the mood for picking up some new games, two new Humble Bundles featuring co-op games and Lovecraftian adventures have launched, offering intriguing options for gamers looking to expand their libraries. More details can be found on GamingOnLinux.
