Overview

  • CD Projekt Red officially revealed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past on May 27, confirming a full‑size expansion that returns players to Geralt and will arrive in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
  • The studio said the reveal was moved up after an unintended discovery on its RED Launcher and that a planned REDstreams anniversary broadcast will still take place as scheduled.
  • CD Projekt Red is co‑developing the expansion with Polish studio Fool’s Theory, a team that includes veterans who worked on the original Witcher games and who are also handling the Witcher 1 remake.
  • Alongside the announcement the company published updated technical requirements that set Windows 11 as the minimum OS, require DirectX 12, and expect SSD storage, changes intended to support the expansion’s performance needs.
  • Songs of the Past is the first major Witcher 3 expansion since 2016’s Blood and Wine and is positioned as a narrative and commercial bridge while CD Projekt Red advances projects such as The Witcher 4, which could prompt renewed player interest and hardware upgrades ahead of release.
