The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past expansion to be revealed at Gamescom

CD Projekt Red briefly confirmed that it was working on a new expansion for The Witcher 3 earlier this year, but things have been quiet since then. That will finally change in a few weeks time, with CD Projekt Red confirming plans to showcase the new expansion during Gamescom.

In an announcement today, CD Projekt Red confirmed that The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past will be shown for the first time during Gamescom Opening Night Live, the live show hosted by Geoff Keighley, streamed all across the globe. While Opening Night Live will only include a trailer, fans will get to see much more of the expansion later in the week, as CD Projekt Red will be hosting guided demos of the expansion at both the Gamescom business area for press and industry workers, and the entertainment area for fans and regular attendees.

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. It will be interesting to find out when the expansion's story takes place chronologically, as Geralt's story was already wrapped up pretty nicely in the Blood and Wine expansion.

The Witcher 3 first launched all the way back in 2015 and has gone on to sell over 65 million copies worldwide. While the game and its first two expansions are available on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch systems, the new expansion will only be available to owners of the game on current-gen platforms, including PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. There is currently no word on whether CD Projekt Red plans to upgrade the game for Nintendo's new Switch 2 console.

The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past is going to release sometime in 2027. We should get a more specific release window when the reveal trailer drops.

KitGuru Says: We are finally going to learn what this expansion is all about. Gamescom Opening Night Live will begin on August 25th, so we have just over a month left to go.
