"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," the acclaimed action-role-playing game from developer CD Projekt RED, is rumoured to get a new expansion -- Blood and Wine expansion.
The details of the expansion were leaked on Reddit. The information was reportedly posted on The Witcher forums and was removed later. But before the details were deleted, Reddit (via WCCFTech) got hold of it.
If the leaked information turns out to be true, then this will be the second such expansion for the game. The leak has revealed that this expansion brings new content to the game that includes new weapons, skills, armours, animations, boss fights and more.
One of the most interesting aspects of the leak was that the expansion might bring new camera settings with possible inclusion of First Person mode.
The Blood and Wine expansion, according to the leak, is expected to be released in early June.
Though the details given below are believable, the players must take it with a pinch of salt, given it does not come from the official source.
