CD Projekt Red has officially announced a brand-new, third major story expansion DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The new expansion, titled The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past DLC, is scheduled to launch in 2027, a staggering 12 years after the release of the base game.

The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past DLC Brings Performance Updates Ahead of Full Launch
In an X post shared by CD Projekt Red, the developers revealed the surprise Witcher 3 DLC with the caption stating, “Medallion’s humming… that can only mean one thing! It’s time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past.”
CDPR went on to reveal that the Songs of the Past DLC is being co-developed with Fool’s Theory, a Polish studio made up of veterans who worked on the original The Witcher 3. Additionally, Fool’s Theory is also currently handling the upcoming The Witcher 1 remake. While specific plot details related to the DLC are currently under wraps, rumors suggest that the story might serve as a narrative bridge leading directly into The Witcher 4.
Additionally, to support the technical demands of The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, CD Projekt Red has also announced that the title will receive a major foundational update. The studio has announced that it will be stopping support for older operating systems and hardware following Microsoft’s retirement of Windows 10. The Witcher 3 will now run exclusively on DirectX 12, with mechanical HDDs no longer being supported.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past is slated to release sometime in 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Players can expect the first concrete gameplay and story details later this year, possibly even at the Summer Game Fest 2026.
