But today&#8217;s news is actually about 2015&#8217;s\u00a0<em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em>, which will receive its third full expansion next year, 12 years on from the beloved action RPG&#8217;s debut.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">CD Projekt Red <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thewitcher\/status\/2059560461872373812?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> the expansion, <em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt \u2013 Songs of the Past<\/em>, on its official The Witcher X account, a day <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CDPR_ES\/status\/2059566138099372494?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">earlier<\/a> than planned. The game&#8217;s previous DLC, <em>Blood and Wine<\/em>, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week, and CDPR recently <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thewitcher\/status\/2059288819027910898?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> a &#8220;special&#8221; celebratory livestream on May 28, where it had intended to reveal the upcoming expansion.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Medallion&#8217;s humming&#8230; that can only mean one thing! It&#8217;s time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt \u2013 Songs of the Past!&#8221; the studio wrote on X. &#8220;This brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We don&#8217;t currently have much more information to go on than that, but CDPR said that story content is being co-developed with fellow Polish developer Fool&#8217;s Theory. This is the same studio that is currently working on a remake of <em>The Witcher<\/em>. CDPR said we can expect to hear more later this summer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Songs of the Past<\/em> will arrive at some point in 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PS5. There&#8217;s no mention of Switch or Switch 2 at the time of writing, and CDPR is yet to announce whether <em>The Witcher 3<\/em> will receive a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/gaming\/nintendo\/nintendo-switch-2-review-more-of-what-you-love-120048430.html\" target=\"_blank\">Switch 2<\/a> upgrade in the future. Given how involved the studio was in the console&#8217;s launch with its impressive <em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> port, it wouldn&#8217;t be a huge shock if a Switch 2 version of Geralt&#8217;s third monster-hunting outing did turn up eventually.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Songs of the Past<\/em>&#8216;s existence raises questions about the whereabouts of <em>The Witcher 3<\/em>&#8216;s long-awaited sequel. We haven&#8217;t heard much about <em>The Witcher 4<\/em> since it was shown off in an <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/gaming\/the-witcher-ivs-lush-world-is-on-display-in-unreal-engine-56-demo-174048532.html\" target=\"_blank\">Unreal Engine 5<\/a> tech demo last year, following a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/gaming\/the-first-witcher-4-trailer-sees-ciri-kicking-butt-014137326.html\" target=\"_blank\">cinematic trailer<\/a> at the 2024 Game Awards the year before.
