More than a decade after the original release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt of Rivia is officially returning for one more journey. CD PROJEKT RED has confirmed that a third expansion, titled “Songs of the Past,” is currently in development and slated for a 2027 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Collaboration and Development

The expansion is being co-developed by Fool’s Theory, a studio comprised of industry veterans who previously worked on the original Witcher 3 title. This partnership marks a significant collaboration as CD PROJEKT RED balances current-gen support for their classic RPG with the development of future projects like The Witcher 4.

The announcement came slightly ahead of schedule due to an accidental leak on the RED Launcher, prompting the developer to confirm the news across social media and their official forums.

What We Know So Far

• Release Window: 2027.
• Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (next-gen/current-gen focus).
• Content: A brand-new adventure featuring Geralt of Rivia.
• Next Steps: CD PROJEKT RED has stated that additional details regarding the story, map, and gameplay mechanics will be revealed in late summer 2026.

To ensure optimal performance and compatibility for the new expansion, the studio has also confirmed that they will be updating the system requirements for The Witcher 3. These changes will take effect starting with the next game update.

“Medallion’s humming, which can only mean one thing. It’s time to announce we’re working on a brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Get ready to return to the Path with Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt—Songs of the Past.”
