While we await the final season of Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher, not to mention the next entry in the video game series with The Witcher IV, CD Projekt RED decided to surprise everyone with a brand new DLC announcement for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Entitled “Songs of the Past”, the third expansion to Wild Hunt will launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Co-developed by Fool’s Theory (the folks behind 2024’s dark fantasy RPG The Thaumaturge), Songs of the Past is the first new expansion for The Witcher 3 since “Blood and Wine” first launched back in 2016. The expansion is slated to return players to the role of legendary monster slayer Geralt of Rivia ahead of The Witcher IV‘s turn with Ciri as the main protagonist. More news on Songs of the Past is expected later this summer.
The Witcher 3 has sold more than 60 million copies since its release way back in 2015, and is the winner of more than 250 Game of the Year awards and 1,000 industry awards. If for whatever reason you haven’t picked it up, you can find it on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
