AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
CD Projekt Red confirmed that Gwent will return in the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion for The Witcher 3, bringing new cards and opponents ahead of its Gamescom showcase.
CD Projekt Red is gearing up for Gamescom Opening Night Live, where players will finally get their first deep dive into Songs of the Past, the massive upcoming expansion for The Witcher 3. While the main stage showcase will likely focus on high-stakes narrative beats and action for the 2027 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, community managers have dropped a vital detail early. Gwent is officially returning to the fold.
Originally announced back in May, Songs of the Past is slated to match the sprawling scope of previous expansions like Blood and Wine. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the beloved card game will make a comeback, complete with new cards and opponents tied to the new setting, echoing how past expansions introduced dedicated factions and tournaments. Given how Gwent grew from a simple tavern minigame into a standalone phenomenon, this confirmation guarantees that tabletop enthusiasts will have plenty to master when the expansion drops.
As the community looks ahead to how this content bridges the gap toward The Witcher 4, early transparency from the development team is a welcome move. Fans tuning into the upcoming showcase can expect plenty of world-building details, but the assurance that deck-building is along for the ride makes the wait for 2027 a little easier to manage.
