We already know that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting one last DLC to say goodbye to Geralt of Rivia. Songs of the Past was announced back in May, following months of speculation that the now ten-year-old RPG was getting a big update.
However, this reveal was little more than a brief synopsis and some new art of Geralt. Turns out, CD Projekt Red was always planning a big fancy reveal later in the year, and now, we know exactly when that will be: August 25.
Gamescom Opening Night Live Will Give Us Our First Proper Look At The Witcher 3: Songs Of The Past
"CD Projekt Red is delighted to announce its presence at gamescom 2026, with new information on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past being revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live," reads an announcement from the studio. "CD Projekt Red will also showcase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past on the Gamescom show floor."
That means that fans will be able to see a preview of Songs of the Past on the show floor, although it won't be a hands-on demo. Instead, attendees will get a "guided presentation". The same goes for the build that the press will be shown, so we'll have to wait a little longer before we can try it out ourselves.
The Opening Night Live announcement will likely give us a firm release date for Songs of the Past. Right now, all we know is that it will be with us at some point in 2027, bridging that gap between now and The Witcher 4.
If you are worried about Songs of the Past holding up The Witcher 4, that doesn't seem to be the case. CDPR has already confirmed that this DLC is being co-developed by Fool's Theory, who is also working on a remake of the first Witcher game. We have seen CDPR employ a similiar strategy with Cyberpunk 2077, with updates handled by Virtuos, allowing the team to focus on Cyberpunk 2.
