Well, this is unexpected. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red's flagship fantasy title, is getting new DLC next year. We don't have any information of what the contents are, only the name (Songs of the Past), but the name implies it could be a prequel before the events of the main game, or at least before the story ends.
The expansion is co-developed by Fool's Theory, who are known for The Thaumaturge and Seven: The Days Long Gone, and are currently working on the Witcher remake. They've also acted as a support studio for Baldur's Gate 3, Outriders, Silent Hill 2, and more.
Unfortunately, there's also some bad news. For one, the expansion will release only on current-gen platforms (so no PS4 or Xbox One), and it's not coming to either Switch system (though a Switch 2 version sometime in the future might still happen). Along with the new expansion, CDPR will also be increasing the PC system requirements for the game. Check out our dedicated article on the matter.
Quote From CD Projeckt Red Medallion's humming... that can only mean one thing! It's time to announce we're working on a brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!
Get ready to return to the Path with Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past, coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2027.
We’re currently co-developing the expansion with Fool’s Theory and we’ll share more in late summer, so stay tuned!
With new content coming to the game, we also need to update our system requirements to ensure smooth performance and compatibility going forward for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Songs of the Past. These requirements will become effective starting from the next update.
