The original The Witcher 3 launched back in May 2015, backed by acclaimed expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Together, these add-ons provided over 30 hours of fresh content and unforgettable quests. More recently, the base game got enhancements like ray tracing and quicker loading times on current-gen consoles, boosting the experience beyond its original release.
For Songs of the Past, CD Projekt Red has yet to finalize pricing or an exact date beyond 2027. The expansion will be sold standalone, separate from the Complete Edition, which is great news if you want to jump in without repurchasing everything. The developers also plan to update system requirements to support this new content, so keep an eye on those once more info drops.
This expansion marks a notable return to Geralt’s story after a long hiatus, following the closure of his saga in Blood and Wine. Meanwhile, the studio is hard at work on The Witcher 4—codenamed Polaris—which remains in development. Songs of the Past gives fans a new chance to explore Geralt’s world before the next chapter arrives.
CD Projekt Red promises to reveal further information about Songs of the Past at a future event, so prepare for more news regarding story details and gameplay additions in the coming months.
