The new Witcher 3 DLC is no longer a rumor, as CDPR has unexpectedly announced the upcoming content expansion to the decade-old game. Thus, Witcher fans are eager to take a trip back to the various lands of the Continent, which will pave the path for the upcoming Witcher 4 game. While we wait for the new DLC, here is everything we know so far about Witcher 3 DLC: Songs of the Past’s release date, story, trailer, etc.

As opposed to the Witcher 3 DLC rumors, CD Projekt Red officially announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past will release sometime in 2027. Earlier, the leaks suggested that the new Witcher 3 expansion was on track for a 2026 release, and now we know that’s not the case.

In addition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past DLC will release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5|5 Pro next year. As expected, the new Witcher 3 expansion won’t be available on PS4, as the previous next-gen update didn’t include the old console.

The Witcher 3 DLC Songs of the Past Story Details

Apart from the DLC announcement, CD Projekt Red is staying silent on the story details of the upcoming Witcher 3 expansion. They have only confirmed that players will once again take on the role of legendary monster slayer Geralt of Rivia for a brand new adventure in the Songs of the Past DLC.

Nevertheless, Songs of the Past DLC will equally focus on Ciri’s tale, as the rumors suggest the new DLC will bridge the gap between The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4.

Therefore, get ready for Geralt to pass the baton to Ciri as she is already confirmed to be the next Witcher in the fourth installment’s trailers.

Is There a Trailer for The Witcher 3 DLC Songs of the Past?

CD Projekt Red hasn’t yet released any trailer for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past at the time of writing. We will update this section once the first trailer for the new Witcher 3 expansions goes online in the coming months.

Who Is Developing The Witcher 3 DLC?

While the leaks claimed that only Fool’s Theory is working on the new Witcher 3 expansion, CDPR announced that they are co-developing the Songs of the Past DLC with the independent Polish studio. In case you didn’t know, Fool’s Theory is made up of veterans who made The Witcher 3, one of the best video games of all time. And the same studio is also developing The Witcher 1 Remake.

Therefore, the new Witcher 3 DLC is in good hands. All we have to do is wait until next year, and then we can embark on a grand adventure as Geralt of Rivia once again. That said, what do you think the new Witcher 3 Songs of the Past DLC will be about? Let us know in the comments below.
