More than ten years after its original release, the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is receiving an expansion once again. CD Projekt RED surprised fans by announcing the release of a new story expansion titled «Songs of the Past», - which will bring Geralt of Rivia back for a new adventure in 2027. This expansion will be the third major addition to the game following «Hearts of Stone» and «Blood and Wine», - and it comes amid growing interest in The Witcher 4.
Here’s what you need to know about «Songs of the Past», - from Geralt’s return to what it might mean for the future of the franchise.
Yes, CD Projekt RED has officially confirmed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will receive a new expansion called «Songs of the Past», - marking the first major story DLC for the game in over 10 years. The project is being developed in collaboration with Fool’s Theory, which is currently working on a remake of the original game, The Witcher.
Unlike the small updates and patches for new consoles released in recent years, «Songs of the Past» is described as a full-fledged narrative expansion. CD Projekt RED has confirmed that it will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, indicating that the studio is moving away from older console hardware for this release.
«Songs of the Past» will be the third major expansion for The Witcher 3 after «Hearts of Stone» and «Blood and Wine». Although CD Projekt RED has not yet revealed full plot details, the company described it as «a new standalone adventure» focused on Geralt of Rivia.
According to the announcement, the expansion has been developed with lessons learned from the original game’s DLCs in mind, both of which were highly praised for adding dozens of hours of gameplay and significant new storylines. Early reports suggest that «Songs of the Past» may revisit locations and characters related to Geralt’s early years as a witcher, although CDPR has not confirmed specific returning characters aside from Geralt himself.
Doug Cockle, the long-time English voice of Geralt, is expected to return to his role, although CD Projekt RED has not yet announced the voice cast. The studio specifically noted that players will «return to Geralt’s boots» for a new hunting adventure.
CD Projekt RED announced that «Songs of the Past» is planned for release in 2027. The company has not yet revealed a specific release date, and no gameplay trailer has been released at this time.
The expansion is expected to launch before The Witcher 4, which, as previously stated by CD Projekt RED, will not be released until the end of 2027
