Modders Bring The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past Sword Into the Game Hours After Reveal
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Modders have already recreated Geralt's new sword from the newly announced Songs of the Past expansion for The Witcher 3, releasing the mod just hours after CD Projekt's reveal.
CD Projekt recently confirmed what players have suspected for months, revealing that a brand new expansion titled Songs of the Past is officially heading to The Witcher 3 in 2027. Along with the announcement came promotional artwork showing Geralt wielding a distinct new blade. It took veteran REDkit modder Merigoldmaribor less than a day to translate that promotional art into a functional in-game weapon for players on PC, proving once again that the community's modding scene works at lightning speed.
Available now on Nexus Mods, the custom weapon recreates the sword from the promo poster by swapping in for the Wolf School steel swords and scabbards. While it remains to be seen if the fan recreation is an exact match for the official asset that will ship with the 2027 expansion, it captures the aesthetic immediately. The blade features a unique, ornate curved decoration around the crossguard that sets it apart from standard base game gear without reaching the extreme flashiness of Toussaint weaponry from Blood and Wine.
This rapid turnaround highlights the enduring dedication of the RPG community, keeping a classic single-player title feeling fresh over a decade after its initial launch. As players digest the news that Songs of the Past will also bring updated system requirements to PC, this mod offers a fun way to bring a piece of the upcoming content into current playthroughs. You can read the original coverage over at Rock Paper Shotgun.
For those looking ahead, CD Projekt has already poured cold water on any hopes of a surprise expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, making this unexpected Witcher 3 revival a rare treat for fans of the studio's older single-player catalog. Whether you are playing on PC with heavy mods or revisiting the game across modern consoles, the community continues to find new ways to expand the Continent while we wait for 2027.
