CD Projekt Red has officially announced Songs of the Past, a new expansion for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt developed in collaboration with Fools Theory.
The expansion is scheduled to launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
CD Projekt Red and Fools Theory confirmed there is no Nintendo Switch version planned for this DLC.
Songs of the Past arrives as the third major expansion for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, a title first released in 2015.
Fools Theory, the studio credited as a development partner on the project, previously released The Thaumaturge and is also working with CD Projekt Red on a remake of the original The Witcher.
CD Projekt Red has indicated that minimum system requirements for the new content have been revised, which the company says reflects the technical demands and visual expectations for the expansion.
Paraphrasing public reaction, some industry observers pointed out that marketing The Witcher III as a "Complete Edition" in past releases now looks less absolute given the new, platform-limited expansion.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt has been packaged in various forms over its lifecycle, including a Nintendo Switch release of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt — Complete Edition in 2019; the new announcement clarifies that Songs of the Past will not be available on the Switch.
