Overview

  • CD Projekt Red announced Wednesday that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past is a third full expansion scheduled for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
  • The studio said players will once again play Geralt of Rivia and that the expansion is being co‑developed with Fool’s Theory, a Polish studio formed by veterans who worked on the original game.
  • CD Projekt Red published updated PC requirements ahead of the DLC, including Windows 11 as the minimum OS, DirectX 12 support, a 70 GB SSD requirement, and no last‑gen console editions.
  • The company moved the announcement up after material appeared on its RED Launcher and confirmed that fuller details will arrive in late summer with a full showcase at Gamescom 2026.
  • Described as a ‘third expansion’—a label that implies scope similar to Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine—Songs of the Past extends long‑term support for The Witcher 3 while CDPR continues work on The Witcher 4 and related projects.
