Overview
- CD Projekt Red confirmed a premium expansion titled Songs of the Past for The Witcher 3, developed primarily by partner studio Fool’s Theory and due in 2027.
- The Witcher 1 remake has been put on hold because its production is tied to assets, tools, and pipelines being prepared for The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5.
- Fool’s Theory has shifted focus from leading the remake to building Songs of the Past, with a smaller portion of its team now supporting work on The Witcher 4.
- CD Projekt Red will deliver a free remaster update for existing Witcher 3 owners in September that includes visual upgrades, quality-of-life changes, and combat improvements.
- Early hands-off previews praised the expansion’s writing as a direct continuation of Witcher 3, and long-time voice actor Doug Cockle has returned, underlining the studio’s push for narrative continuity and player re-engagement.
