The Witcher 3 Announces ‘Songs of the Past’ Expansion for 2027

CD Projekt Red has officially announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, a new expansion bringing Geralt back to the Path in 2027. The reveal followed a brief mention on the studio’s RED Launcher, with the announcement confirmed shortly after on the series’ official channels. The first natural stop for fans is our The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game page.

CDPR says Songs of the Past is co-developed with Fools Theory and is planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027, with more information coming in late summer.

Platforms, co-developer, and what CDPR is saying today

In the studio’s announcement, CDPR framed Songs of the Past as a return to Geralt’s story rather than a small quest drop, naming Fools Theory as a co-developer and setting a broad 2027 window for release on current-gen consoles and PC. The studio also acknowledged that it had originally planned to reveal the project during a REDstreams broadcast and moved earlier after spotting the content on RED Launcher. The official post is here if you want the wording direct from the account: The Witcher’s announcement.

Alongside the reveal, CDPR noted that The Witcher 3’s system requirements will be updated with the next game patch to ensure compatibility going forward. Exact specs weren’t shared in the initial social posts, so expect the full breakdown when the studio returns with its late-summer info drop.

It has been almost a decade since The Witcher 3 launched and years since Blood and Wine wrapped Geralt’s saga in style, so a fresh expansion in 2027 is a notable swing. With Fools Theory already collaborating with CDPR on other Witcher projects, the partnership here tracks. For now, there’s no release window narrower than next year and no story or feature list beyond the title, but CDPR setting expectations early suggests a larger, fully fledged add-on rather than a one-off quest.

We’ll be watching for that late-summer showcase to see how Songs of the Past fits alongside CDPR’s broader Witcher roadmap and what the updated PC requirements look like for returning players on modern hardware.
