AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
CD Projekt Red launched The Witcher 3 Remastered as a free upgrade while dropping a new soundtrack EP for the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion, arriving in 2027.
Witcher fans are eating well right now. CD Projekt Red just rolled out The Witcher 3 Remastered, bringing a massive wave of technical updates, quality of life fixes, and all previous expansions to current owners as a completely free upgrade. It is a welcome move for a modern audience that expects games to evolve alongside their hardware, keeping a decade-old classic relevant across modern setups.
Alongside the remaster, CD Projekt Red gave players a concrete preview of what comes next. Milan Records just dropped a five-track EP from the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion on all major streaming platforms. Featuring contributions from returning lead composer Marcin Przybyłowicz alongside franchise newcomers Magda Urbańska and Daniel Elms, the preview sets the sonic stage for Geralt of Rivia's next major outing.
Set for a 2027 release, Songs of the Past is shaping up to be a massive addition to the game. Much like Blood and Wine, the expansion introduces a brand-new region called Letten, complete with a fresh storyline, new monsters, and quests that match the scale of past DLCs. Development is being handled in partnership with Fool's Theory, a studio composed of veterans who previously worked on the core game.
This community-first approach to expanding an already beloved RPG shows how modern live-service longevity and single-player storytelling can merge. As players dive back into the upgraded base game, the steady drip of soundtrack drops and development updates ensures the franchise remains a massive talking point across creator streams and community hubs everywhere.
