The Witcher 3 announces its first new expansion in ten years

CD Projekt has unexpectedly announced a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Entitled Songs of the Past, it will put us in the shoes of Geralt of Rivia, and is being co-developed by Fool’s Theory, the team behind the RPG The Thaumaturge, and for now we don’t know anything else except that we will learn more “by the end of summer.” Quite a surprise, considering that the original game was released eleven years ago.

An expansion that will require waiting

Although it seems we won’t have to wait long to know all the details about the expansion. CD Projekt has announced that they will broadcast a special live event on Thursday, May 28 at five in the afternoon, Spanish mainland time. Although they haven’t specifically announced what they will talk about, they have said that the event will feature Kacper Niepokólczycki and Magdalena Zych, and that “we will return once again to the land of knights, vineyards, and vampires.”

There have been many rumors for months about this expansion. It is likely to be a way to link the events of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with those of the upcoming The Witcher 4, according to those same rumors, it seems that CD Projekt wants to start rekindling interest in the witcher among its fans.

Now, if you want to play Songs of the Past you should know that you have to stay up to date. The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past will be released in 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. So if we were thinking of playing it on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, we’re afraid you’ll have to pay again to be able to play it. Because the world keeps moving forward. Even The Witcher’s.
