The Witcher 3 is pulling Geralt out of retirement for one final hunt.

      CD Projekt Red has announced a third expansion titled Songs of the Past for The Witcher 3, set to release in 2027, with assistance from Fool’s Theory to create a new adventure for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

      This update brings the decade-old RPG back into the spotlight. Players will once again join Geralt of Rivia on his journey, with Fool’s Theory co-developing the expansion alongside CD Projekt Red.

      More information will be revealed in late summer 2026, leaving key details like scope, pricing, and the precise release window still unknown.

      Why bring Geralt back now?

      The Witcher 3 does not require rescuing, as CD Projekt Red confirms it has sold over 60 million copies since its 2015 release and has earned more than 250 Game of the Year awards among a total of 1,000 industry accolades.

      This legacy sets a high standard for Songs of the Past. Players will not view it as a mere side quest added onto a classic; they will compare it to the prior expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, that contributed significantly to Wild Hunt's sense of completeness.

      How much new content will there be?

      Fool’s Theory adds credibility to the project, with CD Projekt Red noting that the studio comprises industry veterans who previously worked on The Witcher 3, alleviating some apprehensions about letting an external co-developer create a new story for Geralt.

      However, the announcement came with a bit of chaos, as leaked information from Red Launcher and a simultaneous trademark filing for Songs of the Past made the reveal feel less orchestrated than originally planned.

      What's the impact on players?

      The presence of Ciri looms over all this. The upcoming Witcher 4 is expected to focus more on Ciri, which gives Geralt's new expansion a significant angle for fans who still view him as the main protagonist of the series.

      For now, it’s wise to await more details before reacting to Songs of the Past as if it were a comprehensive farewell. Geralt is making a return, but the extent of this new adventure remains uncertain. Late summer 2026 is the key timeframe to keep an eye on.

      While some gamers are lamenting the passing of GTA 6's previously anticipated release date (May 26), others are being lured into scams. Rockstar Games has yet to release this highly awaited title, and there is no official public beta available. However, scammers have seized this moment to attract impatient fans.

      According to a report from NordVPN's Threat Intelligence team, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the heightened interest in Grand Theft Auto VI with fake installers, misleading beta access, Android adware, and phishing pages. This occurs as the studio is expected to begin pre-orders for the game, scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S.
