"Project: Radish" Trailer Too Real! Players Mistake New Content for April Fools' Joke

The official CDPR account suddenly released a major teaser announcement on April 1, 2026. Many players initially thought this was the long-awaited new expansion content for the Witcher series. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be nothing more than an elaborate April Fools' joke they had carefully prepared. This mix-up quickly spread virally across major gaming communities. This marketing tactic certainly succeeded in snapping all followers back to reality in an instant.

The trailer claimed this was a brand-new epic adventure experience. Players could mount their horses and gallop across the continent, unlocking an unprecedented sense of realism. Sadly, all of this was just a gimmick centered around Roach, the classic mount. The community comment sections were filled with players complaining that they had mistaken it for a new DLC.

The official account even captioned it as a brand-new epic adventure allowing you to mount your horse.

This reaction precisely illustrates the level of desire everyone has for a new Witcher series title. After all, quite a long time has passed since the release of the previous title. Everyone is looking forward to the official release dates for subsequent The Witcher 3 DLCs and The Witcher 4. The phenomenon of players complaining in the comments that they mistook it for a new DLC is worth deep reflection for the officials.

True Witcher stories are what the community currently needs most urgently.

Although it was just a joke, it shows that the officials know how to engage player emotions. We hope to see a new chapter of true Witcher adventure stories as soon as possible in the future. In this fast-paced era, this interaction certainly brought brief joy. Let's turn our attention to the follow-up developments on April 1, 2026.
