The Witcher 3-expansion försenas till 2027 för att säkerställa kvalitet

28 maj 2026

CD Projekt Red har skjutit upp sin nya The Witcher 3-expansion Songs of the Past till 2027. Studion planerade ursprungligen en lansering under 2026, men ändrade datumet efter interna diskussioner. Expansionen kommer att kretsa kring Geralt och utöka minispelat Gwent.

CD Projekt Red utannonserade Songs of the Past under en livestream för att fira jubileet denna vecka. Expansionen utvecklas i samarbete med Fool’s Theory och lanseras 2027. Delade VD:n Michał Nowakowski bekräftade förseningen under en rapportpresentation den 28 maj.

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.

Are we still getting you in 2027 ?
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.
