It will likely be the third growth for the 2015 RPG.
For those who’re seeing the phrase “Witcher” in a information headline in 2026, you would be forgiven for assuming it is in relation to both The Witcher 4, or no matter season of the Netflix show we’re at now. However as we speak’s information is definitely about 2015’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which can obtain its third full growth subsequent 12 months, 12 years on from the beloved motion RPG’s debut.
CD Projekt Purple announced the growth, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Previous, on its official The Witcher X account, a day earlier than deliberate. The sport’s earlier DLC, Blood and Wine, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this week, and CDPR not too long ago announced a “particular” celebratory livestream on Could 28, the place it had supposed to disclose the upcoming growth.
“Medallion’s buzzing… that may solely imply one factor! It is time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Previous!” the studio wrote on X. “This model new growth for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia as soon as extra.”
We do not at present have rather more data to go on than that, however CDPR stated that story content material is being co-developed with fellow Polish developer Idiot’s Concept. This is similar studio that’s at present engaged on a remake of The Witcher. CDPR stated we will anticipate to listen to extra later this summer time.
Songs of the Previous will arrive in some unspecified time in the future in 2027 on PC, Xbox Collection X|S and PS5. There isn’t any point out of Swap or Swap 2 on the time of writing, and CDPR is but to announce whether or not The Witcher 3 will obtain a Switch 2 improve sooner or later. Given how concerned the studio was within the console’s launch with its spectacular Cyberpunk 2077 port, it would not be an enormous shock if a Swap 2 model of Geralt’s third monster-hunting outing did flip up finally.
Songs of the Previous‘s existence raises questions in regards to the whereabouts of The Witcher 3‘s long-awaited sequel. We have not heard a lot about The Witcher 4 because it was proven off in an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo final 12 months, following a cinematic trailer on the 2024 Recreation Awards the 12 months earlier than. The sport would not have a launch date, however you’ll be able to most likely rule out 2027 now that we all know that CDPR is not fairly performed with its predecessor but.
