CD Projekt Red has delayed its new The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past to 2027. The studio originally planned a 2026 release but shifted the date after internal discussions. The expansion will feature Geralt and expand on the Gwent minigame.
CD Projekt Red announced Songs of the Past this week during an anniversary livestream. The expansion is being co-developed with Fool’s Theory and will launch in 2027. Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed the delay during an earnings call on May 28.

CD Projekt is really out here making sure nobody calls Songs of the Past “just DLC” 👀

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.
