The Witcher 3 Expansion 'Songs of the Past' to Debut at Gamescom ONL

CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory will reveal the third expansion pack for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled Songs of the Past, during gamescom Opening Night Live on August 26 at 3 AM JST. The expansion is set for a 2027 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It continues the story of Geralt of Rivia and is described as an expansion pack rather than a DLC. The announcement was made by gamescom host Geoff Keighley on July 21. CD Projekt Red will also host guided presentations of Songs of the Past at the CD Projekt Red booth during gamescom 2026 in Cologne, running from August 26 to 28 in the business area and August 26 to 30 in the entertainment area. The expansion is the first new content for The Witcher 3 in over a decade, following the Blood and Wine expansion. Development is a joint effort between CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory, which includes veteran developers from the original Witcher 3 team. Hints about the expansion were previously teased in a REDstreams broadcast on May 29, 2026, and in social media posts about Beltane night celebrations. The expansion is expected to be on a scale comparable to previous expansions and will introduce new Gwent cards.
