Fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have been given an exciting reason to return to the world of Geralt of Rivia, with a brand-new expansion officially on the way.
Titled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, the upcoming expansion will bring players back into the shoes of the legendary monster hunter for another major adventure.
Despite the original game launching back in 2015, CD Projekt RED clearly isn’t finished with the world of The Witcher just yet.
The new expansion is scheduled to arrive in 2027 and will introduce an entirely new location called Letten.
Described as an idyllic land filled with rural traditions, folklore and festivals, Letten initially appears to be a peaceful place. However, there is a darker secret lurking beneath the surface, and Geralt will find himself facing never-before-seen enemies.
One particularly interesting detail is the involvement of Dandelion, with developers revealing that his story will play an important role in the expansion.
The development team has even spoken about the challenge of giving Dandelion a bigger storyline without allowing him to overshadow Geralt, who remains the central character.
The expansion is being developed alongside Fool’s Theory, a studio featuring developers who previously worked on The Witcher 3.
And that’s not all for fans of the franchise.
The Witcher 4 is also in development, with CD Projekt RED currently targeting a 2028 release window.
With another adventure for Geralt arriving before the next mainline instalment, fans have plenty to look forward to.
Would you return to The Witcher 3 for another full expansion, or do you think it’s time for the series to move on to The Witcher 4?
