Geralt voice actor teases return for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion

Geralt is officially returning in The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past. Doug Cockle, the long‑time voice of the White Wolf, has shared a new image on social media showing him back in the recording booth working on new dialogue for the upcoming expansion.

Doug Cockle posted the photo earlier this week, showing him back in front of the mic, with The Witcher 3 running on the screen behind him. Cockle did not share any details about the scenes he is working on, but the image confirms that he is recording new Geralt dialogue for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, the upcoming expansion that CD Projekt Red plans to showcase at Gamescom later this month.

Unfortunately, we still do not 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 arc was wrapped up neatly in the Blood and Wine expansion. Fans currently expect the new DLC to introduce a fresh questline set within the Velen region rather than expanding the map with a new continent or major new area.

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 and make the expansion available there.

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 in a few weeks' time.
