CD Projekt Red is keeping true to its word as it confirms that "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" will have free DLC for PC, PS4 and Xbox One come its 2015 release date.
Early in November, fans where already made aware that "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" will have free DLCs across all platforms to show their support to gamers who deserve more than what they initially paid for.
On the official announcement made by CD Projekt Red, the free DLCs for PC, PS4 and Xbox One will come shortly after the release date of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt."
The announcement said, "Everyone who buys 'Wild Hunt' will receive 16 specially prepared DLCs absolutely for free, regardless of platform. You don't have to pre-order, you don't have to buy any special edition to get them-if you own a copy of 'Wild Hunt,' they're yours. This is our way of saying thank you for buying our game."
The developers were asked recently why they chose to unleash 16 free DLCs when they could make a little bit of money from it. In an interview with IGN, CD Projekt Red COE Marcin Iwiński shared that this move was to repay loyal fans and also to make a stand against the "steeply priced" video games available today.
Iwiński said, "Yeah, we are making a statement. We, as gamers, would like to be treated this way, 'Hey, give me free DLC.' It doesn't have to be something huge. And I'm saying we aren't giving out huge stuff, we aren't giving tens of hours of storyline here, we are giving small bits of pieces that don't cost a lot. And I think people would feel better about our game, and, so, they will enjoy the adventure even more."
"Because people just paid full price for our game, we owe them," shared the CEO.
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" release date is set on May 19 with the free DLCs to be released shortly after.
