The Witcher 3’s third expansion isn’t even out until 2027, and the way they’re talking about it makes one thing clear: they want fans expecting something huge, not a little side add-on.

If someone had told me on Discord well over a year ago that TW3 was getting a new story expansion 12 years after the base release, I would have told them their life sounds like a Wattpad fanfic.

I fear the new expansion for Witcher 3 will delay your arrival 🥲
don't get me wrong, I'm so glad about the new expansion, but not if it means we wait more for W4
The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past can be considered a prelude to The Witcher 4, according to CDPR.

CD Projekt Red has confirmed a third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt called Songs of the Past. The content will arrive in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.
Building on earlier analyst predictions and speculation about a Witcher 3 expansion, CD Projekt Red indicated during a March 2026 financial earnings call that it favors longer marketing campaigns over surprise releases (shadow drops) for new game content planned this year. Executives addressed investor questions evasively amid rumors, while linking releases to financial targets.
