CD Projekt RED Confirms Witcher 3 Expansion Songs of the Past for 2027

The studio says it delayed the large, Blood‑and‑Wine‑scale add‑on to 2027 to prioritise polish and its three‑game, six‑year Witcher roadmap will leave little room for expansions to the new trilogy.

Overview

  • CD Projekt RED confirmed on Friday that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past will arrive in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.
  • Executives described the expansion as a full, story‑driven add‑on closer in scope to Blood and Wine than Hearts of Stone and intended to refamiliarise players with the franchise.
  • About 190 developers are working on the project, most from partner studio Fool’s Theory, which is also staffed by veterans of the original Witcher 3 team.
  • CDPR said it pushed the release from an earlier 2026 plan to 2027 to focus on consumer‑facing quality and will provide technical details and a Gamescom 2026 showcase in late summer.
  • The company reported The Witcher 3 has sold over 65 million copies and that 513 developers are assigned to Witcher 4, and it said its plan to ship three Witcher games in six years makes expansions for that new trilogy unlikely.
