CD Projekt Red officially announced Songs of the Past, a new expansion DLC for The Witcher 3, on May 27, 2026 [1]. The expansion will release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X [1, 2].
Songs of the Past is co-developed by CD Projekt Red and Polish independent studio Fool's Theory [1, 2]. Unlike The Witcher 4, where players control Ciri, this expansion will return control to Geralt of Rivia, the original protagonist of The Witcher 3 [1, 3].
The title Songs of the Past suggests the story may take place before the end of the base game or explore Geralt's earlier experiences [1, 3]. The Witcher 3 originally launched in 2015 and has sold over 60 million copies worldwide since, making it one of the best-selling RPGs of its generation [2]. Songs of the Past marks the third expansion more than a decade after the original game's release [2].
More information on Songs of the Past is expected during summer 2026, between June and August [1, 2]. Fans will likely learn additional details about the storyline, gameplay, and features at that time.
