Overview

  • CD Projekt revealed at Gamescom that The Witcher 3 will receive a full remaster and that a new paid expansion called Songs of the Past is due in 2027.
  • The remaster is confirmed for release on September 29, 2026 and will be a free upgrade for current owners on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Switch 2, with previous expansions included for owners who do not already have them.
  • Songs of the Past is being co‑developed with Fool's Theory from a concept CD Projekt had years earlier and will shift the story focus to Dandelion and his friendship with Geralt.
  • Voice actors for Geralt and Dandelion said they were surprised by the public announcement and only learned details after the reveal, highlighting communication gaps during the rollout.
  • Analysts forecast the remaster plus expansion could lift The Witcher 3's installed base toward 70–75 million and produce large first‑year sales for the DLC, but those figures are independent estimates and not official company guidance.
