The Witcher 3 is getting a third expansion called Songs of the Past

CD Projekt RED announced that the open world RPG released in 2015 will be getting a third expansion DLC called Songs of the Past in 2027! It will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

While the majority of the studio is focusing on The Witcher 4, CD Projekt RED will be co-developing this new DLC with the studio Fool’s Theory,a studio made up of developers who worked on the original game, and is known for 2024’s The Thaumaturge. Fool’s Theory is also participating in the development of The Witcher remake.

What will the Witcher 3 Songs of the Past DLC be about?

There’s not much info about the new DLC just yet, but they did reveal that they will share more about it sometime this late summer. But if I have to guess, this DLC just might be used to bridge the third game to the fourth as we know that The Witcher 4’s protagonist isn’t Geralt but Ciri, who is now a Witcher herself.

I can’t see any other reason to revisit the game and develop more for it other than fixing any loose ends narratively, or making the transition to the fourth game more palatable for the fans. The last DLC released for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was in May 2016, when they released Blood and Wine, making it roughly 11 years between the second and third expansion.
