Former Destiny 2 Boss Weighs In on The Witcher 3's Surprise Expansion
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Former Destiny 2 executive Mark Noseworthy has praised CD Projekt Red's surprise announcement of The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past, noting that it builds vital momentum for The Witcher 4 and gives development partner Fool's Theory crucial production experience.
CD Projekt Red recently shocked the community by announcing a brand-new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, more than a decade after the game first launched. Titled Songs of the Past, the upcoming 2027 release has caught the attention of industry veterans. Mark Noseworthy, former Vice President of the Destiny universe, took to social media to praise the move, describing it as a smart play on multiple levels for the Polish studio.
Noseworthy highlighted two major advantages of dropping a new expansion for a legacy title. First, it brings the Witcher brand back into the active gaming zeitgeist right when CD Projekt Red needs to build momentum for the upcoming Witcher 4. As Noseworthy pointed out, half a generation of players were not even old enough to pick up the game when it originally dropped in 2015. Second, the project allows developer Fool's Theory, a studio composed of former CD Projekt Red developers, to get valuable reps in before tackling heavier responsibilities on the next mainline entry.
While story details remain scarce, the official key art for Songs of the Past shows Geralt sporting new gear, and the studio has confirmed the add-on will help bridge the narrative gap between the third and fourth games. For players, this means another chance to step into the shoes of the iconic monster slayer while keeping expectations managed as the franchise transitions to its next era.
