The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Songs of the Past

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Songs of the Past is the third major story expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Geralt of Rivia returns to the path for a new adventure and travels to the previously unknown region of Letten, home of his old friend Dandelion.

CD PROJEKT RED is developing the expansion together with Fool's Theory. Songs of the Past is not a standalone game. It builds on The Witcher 3 and uses the modernized systems of the Remastered version.

Songs of the Past is coming in 2027. A specific release date has not yet been announced.

The expansion was officially unveiled on May 27, 2026. CD PROJEKT RED confirmed it as a new major chapter for The Witcher 3 and announced further details for the rest of the year.

Confirmed are PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. On PC, Songs of the Past is available via GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store and Battle.net.

Geralt gains new abilities and, with the Chain, an additional weapon that complements the familiar arsenal of steel and silver swords. The Chain can hit enemies at range and can be combined with new finishers.

The expansion also brings new monsters, unique mutagens, numerous quests and additional points of interest. Choices and their consequences remain a central part of the story.

The setting is Letten, a new region that initially appears idyllic and is the home of Dandelion. Beneath its peaceful surface lies a dark secret that Geralt pursues over the course of the new adventure.

The story introduces new characters, enemies and locations while building on Geralt's long-standing friendship with Dandelion.

The music of Songs of the Past combines orchestral arrangements with Slavic-influenced folk elements, vocals and regional instrumentation. Working on the soundtrack are Magda Urbańska, Marcin Przybyłowicz and Daniel Elms.

On Sep 25, 2026, the five-track Original Soundtrack Gamescom 2026 EP was released as a preview. It includes “Return to the Path”, “Awoken”, “Into Darkness”, “What’s Done” and “Belleteyn Night”. The full soundtrack is set to follow with the expansion in 2027.
