- CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past will be a similar scale to Blood & Wine
- The expansion “will be in line with what you are familiar with Blood & Wine“
- The developers confirmed that the sword depicted in the expansion artwork will be important to the story
CD Projekt Red has shared new details about The Witcher 3: Wild Huntthird extension, Songs from the pastconfirming that it will feel ‘familiar’ to fans of Blood & Wine.
While the studio initially confirmed that it would not show anything new for the recently announced expansion pack during the 10th anniversary Redstream for Blood & Winethe developers ended the broadcast by answering several questions that fans had been eagerly awaiting the answers to.
After the expansion’s reveal, eagle-eyed fans spotted a connection between Geralt’s third sword and another sword from an illustration posted last month to celebrate Belleteyn. CDPR went on to confirm that, yes, the sword is the same one depicted in both artworks, and also teased other clues about Songs from the past which has not yet been found.
“We don’t want to give too much away right now because we want you to experience it while playing,” said senior community and social media manager Laura Beitzel.
“However, as a few eagle-eyed people have already seen over the past 24 hours, there are some hints waiting for you on a very important night in Witcher lore, Belleteyn Night, in our Belleteyn celebration we shared a few weeks ago. So… keep looking for clues.”
Amerlia Korzycka, expert community and social media manager at CDPR, added that Geralt’s new sword is “a very important sword for the story” and fans should find out more “in a few more streams” before the expansion launches.
When asked how big Songs of the Past will be, Beitzel said it “will be along the lines of what you’re familiar with in Blood and Wineand what you’ve come to experience and expect from us as we make our expansions,” suggesting it will be around the same scale and could take between 20 and 30 hours to complete both the main story and side content.
“It’s an expansion, let’s be clear,” Beitzel emphasized.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past launches in 2027, and players will once again take on the role of Geralt and “embark on an all-new adventure before setting out on the path as Ciri in the upcoming The Witcher 4.”
