The rumoured third Witcher 3 expansion has been announced by CD Projekt Red

Key Points:

• CD Projekt Red has officially announced the third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled Songs of the Past, set for release in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X.
• The expansion is co-developed with Fool's Theory, a studio formed by CDPR veterans, known for remaking The Witcher 1 and working on The Witcher 4, as well as creating the Polish RPG The Thaumaturge.
• Songs of the Past will feature Geralt as the protagonist and is expected to be comparable in size to previous expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, possibly exploring earlier timelines in Geralt and Ciri's story.
• The storyline might focus on the period when Ciri was a child, a timeframe not deeply explored in the games but covered in the original books and Netflix series, potentially bridging narrative gaps without conflicting with The Witcher 4.
• The 2027 release date implies The Witcher 4 will not launch before then, as CD Projekt Red aims to avoid releasing two major Witcher titles too close together, aligning with previous statements about The Witcher 4's timeline.
