CD Projekt RED confirms August 25 Gamescom reveal for 2027 expansion
The expansion focuses on the world of The Witcher 3 and aims to deliver a substantial narrative experience. CD Projekt RED is developing the project alongside Fool's Theory, a studio known for its own RPG work. The expansion is being developed alongside Fool's Theory, indicating a collaborative effort rather than a simple reskin of old content.
Songs of the Past is scheduled to launch in 2027. The game will arrive on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. CD Projekt RED explicitly stated that Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch versions will not receive the expansion.

The content scope for the expansion is comparable to the Blood and Wine expansion from the original game. The studio has stated that the content scope of this expansion will be around the same as the Blood and Wine expansion. The studio has confirmed that system requirements for the PC version are changing with this launch, indicating technical updates beyond just new assets.
