It’s official – The Witcher 3 is getting a new expansion

Over the past few months, we have been hearing rumours that CD Projekt Red is secretly working on a third expansion for The Witcher 3, more than a decade after the game's initial launch. Today, CDPR confirmed exactly that, however, the new expansion, titled ‘Songs of the Past', is still quite some ways off from release.

Sitting at over 60 million copies sold, The Witcher 3 is one of the most critically acclaimed and highest-selling RPGs of all time. Now, almost a decade on from the release of the game's original expansions, CD Projekt Red has a third new story arc on the way, helping to bridge the gap while CDPR gets The Witcher 4 ready.

Unfortunately, we do not yet know much about the Songs of the Past expansion. All we know for now is that we will once again be playing as Geralt, setting off on a “brand new adventure”, developed in collaboration with Fool's Theory. More details about the expansion are expected to drop during ‘late Summer'.

While there is not a final release date yet, CD Projekt Red says the expansion will only be coming to current-gen platforms, including PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it will release sometime in 2027.

KitGuru Says: It is extremely rare to see a single-player games studio still supporting their titles this long after launch. Will you be jumping back into The Witcher 3 for the new expansion when it arrives?
