The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past heads to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2027
Original: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past Announced - CD PROJEKT View original →
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a third expansion, Songs of the Past, in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. CD PROJEKT RED announced the project on May 27 and said it is co-developing the expansion with Fool’s Theory. On r/Games, the announcement became the week’s top post with 4,396 votes and 549 comments in the subreddit recap.
The concrete player-facing details are limited but important. Songs of the Past returns players to Geralt of Rivia for a new adventure, and the announced platforms do not include Nintendo Switch 2. That omission became one of the first Reddit discussion points, with commenters asking whether CD PROJEKT RED is holding back a Switch 2 announcement or whether the expansion will skip the platform entirely.
The timing is notable because The Witcher 3 originally launched in 2015 and has already had two major expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. CD PROJEKT RED said the base game has sold more than 60 million copies, which explains why a new paid-scale story add-on can still command attention more than a decade later.
Follow-up reporting added more context on scope. Windows Central reported CD PROJEKT RED describing the project as a “proper big expansion,” while TechRadar noted developer comments comparing player expectations to Blood and Wine. The studio has not announced a price or exact release date, and it says more details are due later in summer 2026.
The r/Games reaction was less about surprise and more about production questions. Commenters debated why successful single-player RPGs do not receive more long-tail story expansions, how much of the work Fool’s Theory is handling, and whether Songs of the Past is designed to bridge attention toward The Witcher 4. For now, the confirmed facts are a 2027 launch window, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, Geralt’s return, and co-development with Fool’s Theory.
