A huge patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on consoles has been released alongside the next free DLC.

Developer CD Projekt RED promised to release a steady stream of free content following the game's release, and have already delivered two sets. On the way later this week is another pair of additions: a new quest called Fool's Gold and a pack of new neutral cards named Ballad Heroes for the in-game card game Gwent.

More details on those will follow at a later time -- for now all we have is the image on the Facebook page announcement.
