After what felt like months of rumours, CD PROJEKT RED came out of nowhere and announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, a new DLC (and likely the last).
Since the year started, it has been rumoured that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be receiving new DLC, and it would lead up to a potential Witcher 4 announcement. Today, Songs of the Past, a brand new DLC chapter in Geralt’s third adventure, has been confirmed by CD PROJEKT RED. The rumours reported that the new DLC would be coming out in May 2026 and would be developed with help from Fool’s Theory, and CD PROJEKT RED confirmed its existence and that Fool’s Theory (the independent developers previously linked to The Witcher 1 Remake) is helping bring Songs of the Past to life.
The last major announcement from CD PROJEKT RED on The Witcher series was regarding Witcher 4, which aired at The Game Awards 2024. This showcased Ciri taking over as the new series protagonist. The State of Unreal in June 2025 also showed off tech demo gameplay footage of the title on PlayStation 5 using Unreal Engine 5, emphasizing advanced rendering techniques. While The Witcher 4 is the next step forward, CD PROJEKT RED is really giving Geralt of Rivia one more adventure in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before Ciri takes over.
Unfortunately, the announcement is scarce of any real details surrounding the DLC, except the title. The announcement reads “CD PROJEKT RED is co-developing the expansion with Fool’s Theory, a team comprising industry veterans who worked on The Witcher 3. More details on Songs of the Past will be released in late summer 2026.” So all fans have confirmed at the moment, is more info is coming in Summer 2026. Fans can let out a sigh of relief, Geralt of Rivia will return in 2027 with Songs of the Past.
