The Witcher 3 is Getting a Surprise New Expansion in 2027
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
CD Projekt Red has announced Songs of the Past, a surprise third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, set to release in 2027 and serve as a prologue to the franchise's future.
CD Projekt has officially announced a brand-new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt titled Songs of the Past. According to reporting by Wesley Yin-Poole at IGN South Africa, the upcoming DLC is scheduled for a 2027 release. This massive addition arrives over a decade after the base game launched in 2015 and more than ten years after Blood and Wine wrapped up Geralt's adventures in 2016. For a title that has already sold over 60 million copies, receiving fresh story content this far down the line is an extraordinary milestone in modern game development.
Studio representatives have teased that Songs of the Past will function in a way as a prologue for the future of the entire franchise. As CD Projekt builds toward the next saga in the Witcher universe, this expansion appears to serve as a narrative bridge connecting the beloved previous generation of games to whatever comes next. It is a smart move that keeps the community engaged and talking about the IP while major future projects continue development behind the scenes.
For today's players, long gaps between franchise entries are nothing new, but getting a brand-new expansion for a legacy single-player game is a rare treat. Rather than relying solely on remasters or ports to keep players interested, CD Projekt is delivering substantial new gameplay and story. As we get closer to the 2027 launch window, expect this expansion to dominate creator streams and community discussions across every platform.
