CD Projekt Announces The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past DLC After Leak

CD Projekt has officially announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, a new expansion for its popular RPG. The DLC arrives after screenshots leaked from CD Projekt’s Red Launcher platform forced the developer to confirm details that had been circulating among fans and industry observers. This release marks the third major story addition for the game since its original launch.

Expansion co-developed with Fool's Theory caps Geralt journey before Witcher 4

CD Projekt collaborated with the independent developer Fool's Theory to create this DLC, following their established practice of partnering with outside studios for major expansions. The DLC focuses on Geralt of Rivia as he embarks on what appears to be his final major adventure before the series shifts focus to Ciri in The Witcher 4.

CD Projekt filed a trademark for “Songs of the Past” with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on May 27, 2026. This legal filing preceded the official announcement and helped clarify the expansion’s title after months of speculation.

Rumors regarding a third Witcher 3 expansion have circulated since mid-2025, with fans speculating about potential plotlines and character returns. The developer has not yet released specific details on the DLC’s length or gameplay mechanics beyond its narrative focus on Geralt.

The official announcement came after the Red Launcher leak exposed early assets and promotional materials for the expansion. CD Projekt responded by confirming the project’s existence and providing a brief overview of its development status.

Earlier major releases like Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine significantly enriched the base game through extensive narrative arcs and gameplay additions. Songs of the Past follows this tradition while serving as a potential capstone to Geralt’s journey before The Witcher 4 takes center stage.

The developer has not yet disclosed pricing or release dates for the expansion at this time. Players can anticipate additional information regarding the release through CD Projekt's official communications and future industry showcases.
