CD Projekt Red has announced a new expansion for The Witcher 3 titled Songs of the Past. The expansion arrives while the studio continues development on The Witcher 4.

CD Projekt Red revealed the new chapter for The Witcher 3, expanding the acclaimed RPG's content even as the developer works on its sequel. The expansion, called Songs of the Past, will add fresh narrative content to the existing game. The announcement comes as The Witcher 4 remains in active development. CD Projekt Red has been working on the next mainline entry in the franchise, which will reportedly move beyond Geralt of Rivia as the protagonist. Details regarding the scope, release date, and pricing of Songs of the Past remain limited. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has maintained a strong player base since its 2015 launch, particularly following the success of the Netflix adaptation and the 2023 next-gen console update. More information is expected as CD Projekt Red shares additional details about the expansion.
