Just when all hope seemed lost, CD Projekt RED finally announced what many thought to be impossible – a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Launching in 2027, Songs of the Past is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and is co-developed with Fool’s Theory, the studio working on The Witcher Remake.
There are a few details available, aside from the developer confirming that this is indeed the third expansion after Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Furthermore, Geralt of Rivia once again returns as the protagonist in a “new adventure.” And while it may seem like an eternity away, Songs of the Past will receive more details in the late Summer of this year.
Rumors have claimed that the next Witcher 3 expansion would cost $30 and take place close to Velen (as opposed to Zerrikania). Interestingly, it may tie into Andrzej Sapkowski’s Crossroads of Ravens, the latest novel in the series and a prequel that explores Geralt’s beginnings as a Witcher. Perhaps he returns to some familiar locations in the new expansion.
Time will tell. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is also available for Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, but CD Projekt RED has made no mention about Songs of the Past launching for those versions. The base game has sold over 60 million units and is considered one of the best games ever made (if not the best open-world RPG).
