12 years after its launch, it looks like The Witcher 3‘s new DLC has officially been confirmed. While there have been rumors about more content for the beloved RPG, it’s officially been confirmed.
Developer CD Projekt Red has announced the new Song of the Past expansion for the game, which will release 11 years after its second expansion, Blood and Wine.
In a recent post by their official Witcher account on X, the DLC was announced, reading: “The brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more.”

“It’s being co-developed with Fools Theory and is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2027. Stay tuned for more information in late summer.”
Fools Theory is a studio that includes several Witcher 3 veterans and previously released the Thaumaturge in 2024.
From the name of the DLC, it sounds like it might be a prequel. With the news that the Witcher 4 is in the works, many have speculated that the next DLC for Witcher 3 will help bridge the gap between the third and fourth installments, as the fourth sees us focusing on Ciri’s story, instead of our usual protagonist, Geralt.
Unfortunately, there’s not much information about the DLC; however, fans are excited, given the comments from the official post.
With new content coming to the game, we also need to update our system requirements to ensure smooth performance and compatibility going forward. These requirements will become effective starting from the next update.
