We already knew that CD Projekt Red will expand The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with 16 pieces of free DLC (horse armour, alternative skins, etc) post-launch, but now they've also revealed plans for premium DLC that will come in the shape of two major expansions.

"With the development of Wild Hunt coming to an end, the team has embarked upon the creation of two new really big adventures set in The Witcher universe," says Marcin Iwiński, CD Projekt Red co-founder. "We remember the time when add-on disks truly expanded games by delivering meaningful content. As gamers, we'd like to bring that back. We've said in the past that if we ever decide to release paid content, it will be vast in size and represent real value for the money. Both our expansions offer more hours of gameplay than quite a few standalone games out there."

Hearts of Stone is the first of these expansions and it is set for release in October.

"Hearts of Stone will take Geralt on an all-new, 10-hour-plus adventure into the wilds of No Man's Land and the nooks and alleys of Oxenfurt, where he'll try to complete a contract from the mysterious Man of Glass. Caught in a thick tangle of deceit, Geralt will need all his cunning and strength to solve the mystery and emerge unscathed."

The second expansion, Blood and Wine, is set for release early in 2016.

"Blood and Wine, a 20-hour-plus tale that will introduce the all-new in-game region of Toussaint, will take Geralt to a land untainted by war, where an atmosphere of carefree indulgence and knightly ritual masks an ancient, bloody secret."

You can pick up a "season pass" with both expansions for €24.99 (via GOG.com) - the game plus expansions goes for €74.99. The whole series with the first two games, the upcoming third game and the expansion pass will set you back €80.36.
