It’s not a drill. It’s not a fan mod. CD Projekt RED has officially announced a brand‑new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – more than a decade after the game’s original release. Titled Songs of the Past, the DLC will once again put players in the boots of Geralt of Rivia for an entirely new adventure.
An Unexpected Return
The Witcher 3 first launched in 2015 and was already supported by two acclaimed expansions: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Those additions were so substantial that many considered them standalone games. Then, in 2022, the game received a free next‑gen update for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, bringing improved visuals and performance.
Now, in a surprise move, CD Projekt RED is going back to its masterpiece. The announcement came via the official Witcher Twitter account: “Medallion’s humming… that can only mean one thing! It’s time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past! This brand new expansion will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more.”
Co‑Developed with Fool’s Theory
The expansion is being co‑developed by CD Projekt RED and Fool’s Theory – the same studio currently working on the remake of the original 2007 The Witcher. This collaboration suggests that Songs of the Past will be a substantial addition, not a small throwaway quest.
Release Window and Platforms
Songs of the Past is scheduled to launch sometime in 2027. It will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Notably, the expansion will not be released for last‑gen consoles (PS4, Xbox One) or the Nintendo Switch.
Fan Reactions – Pure Excitement
The news has ignited the community. One fan wrote, “HOLY S***!!! This is going to be incredible! So glad I replayed the game this year now, 2027 is so far though.” Another simply yelled, “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS.” A third declared, “This just saved my 2026.”
What We Know So Far
CD Projekt RED has not revealed any story or gameplay details about Songs of the Past. Will it be set before, during, or after the main campaign? Will it connect to The Witcher 4 (expected 2027 or 2028)? We’ll have to wait for more information, likely arriving in the coming months.
