Free 'Witcher 3' DLC release date news: Features new sidequest

The Witcher 3 official Twitter account

The barrage of free content coming from CD Projekt Red continues this week with the release of new downloadable content for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt."

This week's new content comes in the form of a sidequest entitled, "Where the Cat and the Wolf Play."

For the newest mission, players will not just be blindly using their brawn, as they will also be required to put in some detective work to investigate the area of interest.

In order to complete the newly added sidequest, players will first have to travel to Oreton Village. Once there, they will discover a new contract waiting for them, according to Gamespot.

After accepting the contract, players can head over to the neighboring city of Honorton where they will be given the task of trying to eliminate a monster known as the "Spook."

Once the monster is defeated, Geralt can once again enjoy the spoils of his hard work and celebrate another contract successfully completed.

This week's free downloadable content is the 15th in a series of 16 planned releases from CD Projekt Red. Prior to the launch of "The Witcher 3," CD Projekt Red promised fans that they would provide them a consistent stream of free content to help keep even the most active players thoroughly engaged.

The 16th piece of free downloadable content for "The Witcher 3," will be released next week, according to Twinfinite.

After all 16 pieces of free content have been released, fans can then get started on planning for the massive add-ons set to arrive later on. The first of the two add-ons will be "Hearts of Stone," which is due out in October, and it will be followed by "Blood and Wine," which is currently scheduled to be released in early 2016.

Both "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine" are paid add-ons, but CD Projekt Red has already said they will be well worth the $25 fans pay for them given the amount of new content they will introduce.
