CD Projekt Red is bringing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt back again, this time with a third expansion called Songs of the Past that is scheduled to arrive in 2027. The studio said the add-on is being co-developed with Fool’s Theory and will be released for PS5, Xbox and PC.
The news lands more than a decade after the game first launched in 2015 and years after what many players thought would be the end of its major support. CD Projekt Red said The Witcher 3 has now sold more than 60 million copies, a figure that helps explain why a game from 2015 is still getting new story content instead of fading into legacy status.
The first two expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, both arrived within a year of the base game, which made the long gap to a third expansion stand out even before this announcement. The game also got a big next-gen version in 2022 that improved its visuals and performance, showing that CD Projekt Red has continued to invest in it long after launch.
That kind of extended support is unusual, but not impossible, for a game that has become one of the best-selling of all time. Few titles stay commercially powerful enough to justify new work so far from release, and fewer still return with a fresh expansion that is not simply a remaster or bug-fix update. CD Projekt Red’s decision to partner with Fool’s Theory on Songs of the Past suggests the studio sees more value in Geralt’s world than in closing the book on it.
There is still a long wait. The expansion is not due until 2027, and CD Projekt Red said more details will be shared in the summer. For now, the message is simple: one of gaming’s most durable hits is not done yet, and its next chapter is still being written.
