CD Projekt Red has officially announced a brand-new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, more than a decade after the RPG first launched. Revealed via the official Witcher social media accounts, the expansion is titled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, and it will once again follow Geralt of Rivia on a new adventure. The expansion is being co-developed with Fool’s Theory — the studio currently working on the remake of the original Witcher game — and is targeting a 2027 release for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
“Medallion’s humming… that can only mean one thing!” the announcement post reads. “This brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more.”
CDPR says more information will be shared in “late summer.”
The reveal comes as a genuine surprise. While rumors surrounding additional Witcher 3 content have circulated for years, few expected CD Projekt Red to return with a full expansion this long after the release of Blood and Wine in 2016. Until now, the studio’s Witcher-related focus had largely centered on its growing slate of future projects, including The Witcher 4 and the remake of the original game.
Shortly after the announcement, CDPR confirmed that The Witcher 3’s system requirements will also be updated alongside the game’s next major patch, citing the need to ensure “smooth performance and compatibility going forward.” Exact changes have not yet been detailed.
The studio also acknowledged that the reveal happened earlier than intended. In a follow-up post, CDPR said it had originally planned to unveil Songs of the Past during tomorrow’s REDstreams presentation, but “found something we didn’t yet expect on RED Launcher,” suggesting the expansion may have leaked ahead of schedule.
At the moment, CDPR has not shared story details, gameplay features, pricing information, or whether returning characters beyond Geralt will appear in the expansion. Still, the announcement alone is enough to mark one of the biggest surprises surrounding the franchise in years.
For longtime fans, it also means something that once felt impossible is suddenly real: Geralt’s story in The Witcher 3 isn’t over just yet.
