CD Projekt Red boss wants free DLC to be the standard

The 16th and final free piece of DLC for The Witcher 3 is now available, and developer CD Projekt would like to see other studios follow its lead.

Since the game’s release in May, CD Projekt has released an assortment of updates and content for the game including armour sets, additional quests, Gwent cards and most recently a New Game+ mode. Oh, and beards. You can never have enough beards.

We’ve been releasing free DLCs since launch, and today’s release of New Game +, the 16th and last of them, marks a special moment for us and, I hope, for all Wild Hunt fans as well,” co-founder Marcin Iwi?ski said.

I’d like to extend my thanks to all the gamers who played our game and gave these DLCs a try. Nothing makes a developer happier than seeing gamers have fun with what they created. I would really like to see such initiatives become an industry standard rather than an exception to the general rule, and I hope that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has set a good example.”

The studio will soon begin rolling out the first of its premium DLC for the RPG.
