The Witcher 3 is getting new DLC, but Nintendo fans are left waiting
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
CD Projekt Red announced a new Witcher 3 DLC called Songs of the Past for 2027, but Nintendo players are currently left off the platform list, sparking discussions across community spaces. Originally reported by Polygon at https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2-witcher-3-dlc-songs-of-the-past-ultimate-complete/.
CD Projekt Red surprised the gaming community by announcing a brand new expansion for The Witcher 3 titled Songs of the Past, slated for release in 2027. More than a decade after the original launch of the massive open world RPG, the studio is continuing to support the title with fresh content. While players on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X are celebrating the unexpected addition, the excitement has hit a wall for Nintendo players who feel left out of the loop.
The initial announcement noticeably omitted any mention of a Nintendo platform release. Fans who originally experienced the massive adventure through the 2019 port on Nintendo hardware are expressing frustration online over being excluded from the upcoming chapter. Given the hardware limitations of older systems, the omission makes technical sense, but it still stings for a community that embraced the portable version of the game.
There is still plenty of room for optimism regarding a future portable port. CD Projekt Red has already proven its technical capabilities on newer Nintendo hardware with impressive ports of its past titles, handling heavy optimization with strong results. Industry watchers also note that platform holders often prefer to save major announcements for their own dedicated showcases. While nothing is confirmed yet, portable players may simply have to wait for a future presentation before they can saddle up Roach again.
