The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past was once intended to launch this year, CD Projekt Red reveals, so the rumours were correct
Eurogamer • • technology
Key Points:
- CD Projekt Red has postponed the release of The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past from 2024 to 2027 to ensure the best possible quality and consumer experience, as confirmed by joint CEO Michał Nowakowski and CFO Piotr Nielubowicz during a financial earnings call.
- The expansion is described as a large-scale addition, comparable in scope to the Blood and Wine expansion, and is considered a sort of prologue to The Witcher 4, although not a direct narrative prequel.
- Details such as the expansion's price and exact release date remain undisclosed, with a guided presentation planned for Gamescom rather than a hands-on demo.
- CD Projekt Red aims to release three Witcher games over six years starting with The Witcher 4, but indicated that expansions for The Witcher 4 are unlikely, marking a shift from their previous approach.
- The company also mentioned other unannounced projects in advanced production slated for release this year, though these are smaller in scale compared to the major Witcher 3 expansion.
