The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a dark fantasy open-world action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt RED.

The second expansion for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" titled "Blood and Wine" will reportedly release at the end of this month, if a Steam listing turns out to be true.

Users on NeoGAF and other sources spotted a page for the expansion that indicated a May 31 release date, while others saw a May 30 date. Whichever the case, the page has already been pulled down since it was apparently published too soon.

However, someone took to Twitter to share a screencap of the Steam page. From the screencap, players are encouraged to become professional monster slayer Geralt of Rivia and explore Toussaint, which is a land untouched by war. In this land, gamers will discover the terrifying secret behind a beast terrorizing the kingdom.

Meanwhile, community manager Marcin Momot teased that much more new information concerning the expansion will be shared this month, according to Gamespot. Momot added that "Blood and Wine" would deliver a great storyline containing every kind of twist and turn that players can expect from the game writers.    

The community manager pointed out that Toussaint is unlike anything players have seen in "Wild Hunt" since it is carefree and colorful. However, he warned of some real dark stuff happening underneath all the beauty.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine" was initially expected to release in Q1 2016 (January - March), but it was later postponed to the first half of 2016 (January - June). A retailer listing had it that the expansion will release on June, but developer CD Projekt Red representative clarified that no official date had been announced.

The first expansion of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" titled "Hearts of Stone" was released in October 2015. The game developer initially said "The Witcher 3's" two expansions, combined, amount to "almost the size of The Witcher 2."

"Blood and Wine" will reportedly offer about 20 hours of gameplay as compared to approximately 10 hours for "Hearts of Stone." Watch the footage below for more information on the upcoming expansion.
