Summary
It’s been almost 10 years since its release, butThe Witcher 3continues to be a relevant open-world RPG. The game’s huge map, plus its two big expansions, offers players countless hours of content, including main and secondary quests, contracts for Geralt to handle various issues in different towns, and many unknown areas to explore. Years may pass, but players keep returning toThe Witcher 3’s world to explore it and, occasionally, discover something they’ve never seen before.
That’s the case with Reddit user dead_lifterr, who ran into a leopard in Beauclair while playingThe Witcher 3’sBlood and Wineexpansion. The animal is the companion of Duchess Anna Henrietta of Toussaint and roams around the city. The player claimed to have played “hundreds and hundreds” of hours without knowing the leopard’s existence. Dead_lifterr shared their discovery with the community, and many other players were just as surprised.

One player mentioned having wandered through the city and the surrounding area multiple times, never spotting the leopard. Another seasoned player was also surprised by dead_lifterr’s discovery, saying they would now try to find it in their own game. A player reflected on the variety ofThe Witcher 3’s NPCs, commenting that even after playing the game many times, they still discover new characters or little details they missed before.
The Witcher 3’sBlood and Wineexpansion brought a substantial amount of content when it was released in 2016. Players had to investigate a series of murders while exploring a new region and tackling new quests. The DLC is considered by many to be one of the best content expansions of all time, securing the Best RPG award at The Game Awards in 2016 and solidifying its legacy.
This legacy is being celebrated witha global concert tour ofThe Witcher 3, bringing the game’s soundtrack to life starting in May 2025. While players have already been treated to a glimpse of the next entry in the franchise with a cinematic trailer forThe Witcher 4,The Witcher 3’s appeal continues to endure through the years.
