AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
CD Projekt Red has announced a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt titled Songs of the Past, arriving in 2027 as a narrative prologue to The Witcher 4.
More than ten years after its initial launch, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is receiving a brand new expansion. Titled Songs of the Past and reported by Marc Deschamps at Game Rant, the upcoming DLC is scheduled to release in 2027 and will act as a narrative bridge leading directly into the heavily anticipated Witcher 4. Following Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, this third expansion will focus once again on Geralt of Rivia, featuring a reunion with the beloved bard Dandelion. For players who spent hundreds of hours in the base game, this release looks to serve as a meaningful swan song for the iconic protagonist before the franchise shifts its primary focus to Ciri in the next numbered entry.
While major story details are still under wraps, CD Projekt Red has indicated that more information will drop over the summer. Bringing new content to a decade-old single-player title is an unconventional move in an industry dominated by live service updates and seasonal battle passes, but it highlights the enduring strength of the community and the studio's long-term franchise strategy. For players planning to dive into Witcher 4 when it eventually arrives, picking up Songs of the Past will likely be essential for understanding the shifting political and personal landscapes of the Continent.
As we wait for summer showcases and further teasers, this announcement gives the community plenty to speculate about regarding how Geralt's story will transition into the next era. You can read the full breakdown of the upcoming expansion over at Game Rant.
