Half a decade on from their last release in the form of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red appear to be getting ready to drop multiple titles back-to-back over the next few years. Alongside the arrival of Songs of the Past some time in 2027, CDPR have now confirmed that The Witcher 4 will follow it up in 2028.

Taking to their socials to release a short video, CDPR’s Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski reiterated the fact that the team will have a big presence at the upcoming 2026 edition of Gamescom, stating:

“I wanted to invite you to watch Opening Night Live, and come visit us on the Gamescom show floor […] The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past. We have a lot of the expansion to show off, including a taste of its dark story, and the new content it will bring.”

As mentioned, it was already previously confirmed that Songs of the Past would be at Gamescom in one form or another. In an unexpected move however, CDPR also spoke briefly about The Witcher 4. While it will not be present at Gamescom, Nowakowski did give some small nuggets of information, describing the title as “our biggest, boldest, and most ambitious game to date” – confirming that it will launch in 2028.

Given that aspects of Songs of the Past are meant to tie directly into The Witcher 4, having the two release close together does make sense. Whether CD Projekt Red will be able to pull it off however (in a bug-free manner no less), we will have to wait and see.

Geralt is officially returning in The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past. Doug Cockle, the long‑time voice of the White Wolf, has shared a new image on social media showing him back in the recording booth working on new dialogue for the upcoming expansion.

Doug Cockle posted the photo earlier this week, showing him back in front of the mic, with The Witcher 3 running on the screen behind him. Cockle did not share any details about the scenes he is working on, but the image confirms that he is recording new Geralt dialogue for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, the upcoming expansion that CD Projekt Red plans to showcase at Gamescom later this month.

Unfortunately, we still do not know much about the Songs of the Past expansion. All we know for now is that we will once again be playing as Geralt, setting off on a brand-new adventure developed in collaboration with Fool’s Theory. It will be interesting to find out when the expansion’s story takes place chronologically, as Geralt’s arc was wrapped up neatly in the Blood and Wine expansion. Fans currently expect the new DLC to introduce a fresh questline set within the Velen region rather than expanding the map with a new continent or major new area.

The Witcher 3 first launched all the way back in 2015 and has gone on to sell over 65 million copies worldwide. While the game and its first two expansions are available on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch systems, the new expansion will only be available to owners of the game on current-gen platforms, including PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. There is currently no word on whether CD Projekt Red plans to upgrade the game for Nintendo's new Switch 2 console and make the expansion available there.

The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past is going to release sometime in 2027. We should get a more specific release window when the reveal trailer drops in a few weeks' time.

As a new studio founded by ex-Witcher Alumni, Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco allowed us an intimate four hours with the studio’s inaugural title: The Blood of Dawnwalker. While players may have been initially concerned about being rushed with the story’s thirty-day limit, our experience proved that there’s more than enough content here to enjoy the adventure at your own pace. In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players take on the role of Coen, a perfectly normal human male with a single goal: to save his family from the clutches of an ancient vampire lord named Brencis.

11 years ago The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released, quickly becoming one of the most celebrated games of all time while catapulting studio CD Projekt Red to new heights. A decade later and the open world RPG continues to be more popular than ever. Following the announcement that the game is set to receive a surprise 3rd expansion next year, CDPR have confirmed that The Witcher 3 has officially sold over 65 million copies.

Making the announcement as part of the studio’s Q1 2026 Earnings report, CDPR officially confirmed that since its release back in 2015, The Witcher 3 has sold over 65 million copies.

This puts it as one of the best selling games of all time, currently sitting between the original Super Mario Bros. (58 million) and Terraria (70 million copies sold) in 8th place.

For context, back in January of this year CDPR confirmed that TW3 had sold a total of 60 million copies, meaning a further 5 million were sold in the past 4 or so months alone.

Given that we’re set to receive a new major expansion over a decade on from Blood and Wine, it will be interesting to see how sales for the title continue to track over the next year in the lead-up to ‘Songs of the Past’s release.
