<p>Whatever the case, the page has now been pulled. It apparently was published too soon. Here is a screencap of the Steam page, courtesy of Twitter&#8217;s Wario64.</p>

<p>Community manager Marcin Momot <a href="https://twitter.com/Marcin360/status/723526260962525184">has teased</a> that &quot;lots and lots&quot; of new information about the expansion will be shared in May.</p>
<p>Blood and Wine will deliver a &quot;fascinating&quot; story that contains &quot;every sort of twist and turn you&#8217;d expect from our writers,&quot; Momot said recently about the content, which is set in the new region of Toussaint.</p>
<p>&quot;Toussaint is unlike anything you&#8217;ve seen in Wild Hunt&#8211;carefree and colorful, but your gut never stops telling you that there&#8217;s some real dark stuff happening underneath all that,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>Blood and Wine was originally expected out in Q1 (January-March), but<a href="http://ift.tt/1NGXEMO"> later shifted to the first half of 2016 (January-June)</a>. A retailer listing suggested the expansion will<a href="http://ift.tt/1p0wpXl"> launch on June 7</a>, but a CD Projekt Red representative told GameSpot, &quot;No official date had been announced.&quot;</p>
<p>The Witcher 3&#8217;s first expansion was called <a href="http://ift.tt/1m9tUBz">Hearts of Stone</a> and came out in October. CD Projekt Red previously said The Witcher 3&#8217;s two expansions, combined, amount to <a href="http://ift.tt/1n5NG1t">&quot;almost the size of The Witcher 2.&quot;</a> Blood and Wine is expected to offer around 20 hours of gameplay, compared to about 10 for Hearts of Stone.</p>
