CD Projekt Red has announced the long-rumoured third expansion to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Songs of the Past will arrive for the massively popular RPG in 2027, coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
CDPR is developing the expansion in tandem with Fool’s Theory, the studio of ex-CDPR and The Witcher 3 devs who are working on a remake of the original The Witcher.
A broader announcement will be coming in “late summer 2026”, which would suggest a Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live feature.
Here’s a little bit of blurb:
“Songs of the Past is a third expansion coming to The Witcher 3 It will launch in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC CD PROJEKT RED is co-developing Songs of the Past with Fool’s Theory Songs of the Past will return players to the role of legendary monster slayer Geralt of Rivia for a brand new adventure when it launches in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.”
This will be a delight for fans of The Witcher 3, while patiently waiting for all the other projects that CDPR and their partners are working on. In addition to Fool’s Theory’s The Witcher remake, CDPR themselves are working on The Witcher 4, which will feature Ciri as the new game protagonist.
It’s a decade since the release of The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, which was the second of the originally planned DLC expansions for the game.
In our review of Blood and Wine, Aran said “Toussaint’s beauty draws you in while the twists and turns of the stories within keep you engaged. The sheer quality present in Blood and Wine is astounding, from the artwork to the acting, and if some of the problems are fixed, it’ll be close to perfection. If Blood and Wine is to be The Witcher series’ finale, then it’s going out on a high note that befits the high standards that have been set over the years. If you’ve enjoyed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, then this expansion is essential.”
I guess there’s another series finale on the way now….
