CD Projekt RED has announced that Hearts of Stone, the first expansion to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released for all platforms on October 13, 2015.

Hearts of Stone contains over 10 hours of new adventures and introduces new characters, powerful monsters, unique romance, and a brand new storyline shaped by gamer choices.
