Geralt's story continues: the new The Witcher 3 expansion, 'Songs of the Past,' is set to be a massive addition on par with 'Blood and Wine.' The developers have also teased a new third sword and additional Gwent cards. Further details are expected to be revealed at Gamescom.

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) held a 10th-anniversary stream for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's 'Blood and Wine' expansion on May 28. Anticipation for new information spiked after the 'Songs of the Past' expansion was announced just a day before the broadcast. Although CDPR had previously stated online that there would be no news regarding 'Songs of the Past,' they held a brief Q&A to share information after hearing the strong demand from fans.

Community Manager Laura Beichel reiterated that the game will be a major expansion comparable in scale to 'Blood and Wine.' As the larger of the two original Witcher 3 expansions, 'Blood and Wine' featured the independent region of Toussaint and a lengthy main story; the attendees emphasized that this new expansion will be of a similarly substantial size.

The discussion also touched on the three swords Geralt is seen holding in the key art. Regarding the third sword, which became a hot topic among fans following the reveal, it was noted only that it serves as an important Item within the story. However, they explained that CDPR had left hints about it a month prior, which some observant fans had already noticed.

Indeed, on April 30, CDPR shared an illustration on social media to commemorate Belleteyn. In the image, a mysterious sword—distinct from Geralt's traditional steel and silver blades—is placed beside him. This same sword appears in the official 'Songs of the Past' imagery.

Beyond that, the team expressed a positive outlook on adding more Gwent cards, acknowledging that Gwent is synonymous with The Witcher 3. They also confirmed that cross-platform support is currently in development. This expansion is being co-developed by CDPR and the Polish studio Fool's Theory. Fool's Theory, which consists of former The Witcher three developers, is also currently working on The Witcher 1 Remake.

More detailed news about 'Songs of the Past' is scheduled to be unveiled at Gamescom 2026. The expansion is slated for a 2027 release on PC, PS5, and XSX|S. Meanwhile, in addition to 'Songs of the Past' and The Witcher 1 Remake, CDPR is developing the next mainline entry, The Witcher 4, featuring Ciri. However, as the first two projects are co-developed, it is believed that internal resources are primarily focused on The Witcher 4.
