"Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone" expansion has more than 10 hours of new content, including monsters, characters, a new storyline, and an exceptional romance that features player variety.

The game was well-received in GameSpot's review, although not to a larger extent as compared to the original game that earned an elusive 10 out of 10, with editor Mike Mahardy commending the game's clever dialogue and storytelling, intriguing quests, and the depth of the themes, GameSpot reported.

While it is not the biggest slice of extra content that is planned for the game including next year's Blood and Wine expansions that prove a far meatier experience, fans can still expect to receive about 10 hours adventure from the first update. The game also introduces the Runewright, an artisan of crafting all sorts of powerful weapon and armor improvements to help players on their quest.

As gamers play through the expansion, they will find themselves completing main quests together with side quests.
