After months of rumors, CD Projekt Red has officially announced Songs from the pastthe third extension to The Witcher 3: Wild Huntwill be launched next year.
The Polish studio casually dropped the news on social media today, confirming a 2027 release window for PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S and PC, despite previous leaks suggesting the expansion could launch this year.
“The locket is buzzing… that can only mean one thing! It’s time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the past,” CDPR said in the post. “This brand new expansion to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the path with Geralt of Rivia again.”
Songs from the past is also being developed together with Fool’s Theory, the studio behind it The Witcher 1 remake, and a team of industry veterans who worked on The Witcher 3.

More details about Songs from the past expected to be released later this summer. The studio also has a special 10-year anniversary live stream for Blood and Wine expansion this week, with CDPR admitting it was meant to announce it.
“We originally planned to do this big reveal during our REDstreams tomorrow, but let’s just say we found something we didn’t expect yet on the RED Launcher,” the developer said, but let’s hope it will still provide additional details about the upcoming story content.
With a new expansion launching more than a decade after the base game, CDPR has also confirmed that it will update the system requirements on PC to “ensure smooth performance and compatibility going forward.”
The study published The Witcher 3‘s current-gen update a few years ago, which revamped the visuals, controls and performance, so we could expect something similar to when Songs from the past publications.
“These requirements will take effect from the next update,” CDPR said, although there is no release date yet.
Rumors of another major update for the 2015 role-playing game (RPG) began circulating last year. There is speculation about that Songs from the past could create events that take place in The Witcher 4which is set to star Ciri, and is now in full production.
