Geralt Returns in Witcher 3 Expansion Set in Dandelion's Hometown
The expansion pulls Geralt back to the Path not through war or conspiracy, but through a personal request from Dandelion, shifting the story's scale to family matters in a new land untouched by the Continent's wars.

CD PROJEKT RED and Fool's Theory are jointly developing "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Memories of a Melody," the third expansion for the game after "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine." A presentation at gamescom 2026 showed Geralt traveling to the new land Retten, where Dandelion was born, to answer a request concerning family.
The third expansion for "The Witcher 3" is in development as a joint project between CD PROJEKT RED and Fool's Theory. At gamescom 2026, a cinema-like booth presentation showed gameplay footage from an early point in the main quest, which the lead animator from Fool's Theory said was longer than what had been publicly shown.
The story opens the morning after the Belleteyn festival, with Geralt still in traditional clothes and apparently unharmed by the night's drinking. A drunken man holds Dandelion's treasured lute, and retrieving it leads Geralt to Dandelion's family home in Retten. The land features residents fishing, rowing boats, beekeeping, horse breeding, and hop harvesting, with hops carted to a brewery, built to make Retten feel like a single living community.
