The Witcher 3's Songs of Remembrance Heads To Rhetten In 2027
The demo answers what a new Witcher 3 expansion actually is: a full Japanese-dubbed open-field story in Rhetten built on top of a remaster upgrade rather than a standalone release.

CD PROJEKT RED showed a hands-off demo of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's new expansion, Songs of Remembrance, at Tokyo Game Show 2026's Red Bull Gaming Sphere On Tour. The expansion is planned for 2027 and is set in a region called Rhetten, following the mystery of Dandelion's disappearance. The demo covered the opening story and the Japanese-dubbed voice track. A remastered version of the main game is scheduled for September 29 as a free update for owners.
The hands-off segment at Tokyo Game Show 2026 covered the opening of Songs of Remembrance, from the start of the story through the title call, using the Japanese-dubbed version of the game. Geralt's nightmare points him toward Dandelion, a noble with a family home in Rhetten. He arrives to find Dandelion missing and his favorite instrument left behind. The footage also showed the remaster side of the production: denser vegetation, revised lighting, and NPC routines that put carriage riders on the roads and boats on the rivers. Gwent remains playable inside the expansion.
