Well, the wolf’s out of the bag! CD Projekt Red has made a slightly early announcement, confirming that The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt, a game that came out all the way back in 2015, is getting a new DLC next year.
The studio had originally planned on announcing the DLC at an upcoming livestream, which presumably will still happen and with a little more to go off than a title and some key art, but the DLC title had accidentally made its way to the company’s proprietary RED game launcher ahead of times, and fans caught it pretty quickly. So, now we know sooner!
Titled Songs of the Past, the expansion will be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2027 (with the game’s PC hardware requirements also receiving an update to set it up for the future. It’s also being developed in collaboration with Fool’s Theory, the studio behind The Thaumaturge, which is also working on the remake of the original The Witcher.
It’ll be interesting to see what this DLC ends up entailing, given many had assumed a potential new expansion would link this game to the upcoming The Witcher 4.
Stay tuned and we’ll update when the REDstream event tomorrow, which celebrates one of the other The Witcher 3 DLCs, Blood and Wine, hopefully reveals more.
