CD Projekt Red Sets The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Expansion for 2027
CD Projekt Red says the witcher 3: wild hunt will get Songs of the Past, a third expansion launching in 2027. The move extends support for a game that first launched in 2015 and has sold more than 60 million copies, with new work now spread across PS5, Xbox and PC.
2027 Push for Songs of the Past
Songs of the Past is being co-developed by CD Projekt Red and Fool’s Theory, a setup that signals the publisher is not treating this as a minor add-on. The expansion lands more than a decade after the base game first premiered, which is far outside the original release cycle for Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, both of which arrived within a year of launch.
That gap is the story. The first two expansions were built to follow quickly on the heels of the 2015 release; this one arrives after the game has already gone through a major 2022 next-gen version that improved the visuals and performance. CD Projekt Red is effectively using a long-tail audience to keep the title active well beyond the usual shelf life for premium single-player games.
60 Million Copies, 3 Platforms
More than 60 million copies sold gives CD Projekt Red a clear reason to keep investing in the property. A game with that kind of installed base can support new attention years later, and Songs of the Past will be available on PS5, Xbox and PC, keeping the release broad rather than limiting it to one segment of the market.
More details are due in the summer, which leaves the 2027 window as the main marker for now. For players, the practical read is simple: The Witcher 3 is not being treated as a finished catalog product, and CD Projekt Red is still willing to spend development time on it while The Witcher 4 remains a ways off.
Summer Details Ahead
The next material update is the summer reveal, and that is the point where CD Projekt Red will have to show whether Songs of the Past is built as a true expansion or mostly a nostalgia play. For now, the company has already answered the biggest questions that affect buyers: it is a third expansion, it targets 2027, and it is coming to PS5, Xbox and PC.
