CD Projekt Red has been teasing us with its first expansion for The Witcher: Wild Hunt for some time now. It has taken a while but the developer is finally ready to talk a bit more about it, launching a new trailer and setting a release date for very soon indeed. The first of two planned expansions for The Witcher, titled ‘Hearts of Stone', will launch on the 13th of October.
We even have a teaser trailer for it. Over the course of this ten-hour adventure, players will be returning to Velen, this time on the hunt for a ruthless bandit captain, Olgierd von Everec, a man who possesses the power of immortality.

Aside from the extra story, some new gameplay elements will also be introduced to the game in the form of Runewords, a brand new system. Each Runeword will impact a different aspect of in-game mechanics and will allow the players to experiment with various strategies and tactics.
There will also be new monsters, a new love interest and ten hours of extra story content, though all of the quests will be aimed at players who are level 30+. Hearts of Stone will come as part of the £20 expansion pass, though it will be purchasable separately as well.

KitGuru Says: Hearts of Stone is actually arriving much sooner than I expected. How many of you beat The Witcher already? Will you be jumping back in for the first expansion?
I’m slowly trudging through the game on the second to last difficulty. Really hard to allow certain notice boards to remain untouched because I’m kind of overpowered already. Can’t wait to play these. So is the season pass actually worth it this time? I hate the idea of season passes, but with CDPR I’m kind of hesitant to actually buy it because I know for 100% that at some point I will buy these expansions.
Certain love interests…oolala
