The Witcher 3 Expansion 'Songs of the Past' Announced, Teases 2027 Release and Geralt's Return
May 27, 2026
CD Projekt Red announces The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, a major story expansion co-developed with Fool’s Theory, set for release in 2027 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Geralt remains the central character, with speculation that the DLC could bridge toward The Witcher 4 and place Ciri in a lead role.
Early theories center the story on legacy, memory, and consequences, potentially revisiting familiar characters in a narrative-driven arc.
Readers are invited to share expectations, and more information is expected to surface in the near future.
The announcement followed a Red Launcher leak and a same-day trademark filing, raising questions about timing.
No trailer is available yet, and details remain limited beyond the release window and the Fool’s Theory collaboration.
Earlier rumors suggested destinations like Zerrikania or revisiting Temeria and Redania, though CDPR did not confirm these specifics.
At present, no concrete story details, gameplay features, pricing, or confirmation of returning characters beyond Geralt have been shared.
No further details on exact features or story beats are publicly available at this time.
Official teaser art depicts Geralt facing a tree monster, signaling a traditional Witcher quest vibe rather than a youth-era portrayal.
Early notes mention updated PC hardware requirements and that more specifics, including a late-summer trailer, are expected.
A RED Launcher teaser hints at further announcements this week, with broader updates coming via REDstream coverage.
