AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
CD Projekt Red and Milan Records have released a five-track EP from the upcoming Witcher 3: Wild Hunt expansion, Songs of the Past, offering a first taste of its folk-inspired soundtrack.
CD Projekt Red is giving players an early taste of the upcoming Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, through a surprise five-track EP released by Milan Records. Featuring contributions from composers Magda Urbanska, Marcin Przybylowicz, and Daniel Elms, the EP leans heavily into traditional folk instrumentation paired with sweeping orchestral arrangements. Tracks like Return to the Path and Belleteyn Night set the atmospheric tone for the expansion's new playable region of Letten, balancing lighthearted melodies with that signature underlying sense of malice and mystery.
The music showcases how the team is preserving the core audio DNA that made the original 2015 soundtrack unforgettable while expanding into new creative territory. Urbanska noted in a recent press release that crafting the folk-inspired soundscape required tapping into deep Slavic heritage and a different musical sensibility than traditional classical composition. Fans tuning into creator streams and community hubs can already hear the rich vocal performances and regional instrumentation that will define this massive upcoming content drop.
First revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Songs of the Past is shaping up to be a substantial addition arriving well over a decade after the base game initially launched. Alongside the new region, the expansion promises a fresh narrative arc, a new romance option, and plenty of exploration for veteran players looking for a reason to return to the Path. While we wait for hands-on gameplay opportunities, streaming the new EP is the perfect way to prep our playlists for another round on the Continent.
