CD Projekt Red shared new details about The Witcher 3: Wild Huntthe third extension of, Songs from the pastconfirming that it will look “familiar” to fans of Blood & Wine.
Although the studio initially confirmed that it would not show anything new for the recently announced expansion pack during the 10th anniversary Redstream for Blood and winethe developers ended the broadcast by answering several questions that fans were eagerly awaiting the answers to.
Following the expansion’s reveal, eagle-eyed fans spotted a connection between Geralt’s third sword and another sword from an illustration released last month to celebrate Belleteyn. CDPR then confirmed that, yes, the sword is the same as the one depicted in both artworks, and also gave other clues about Songs from the past which remain to be found.
“We won’t reveal much at this time because we want you to experience it while you play,” said Laura Beitzel, Senior Community and Social Media Manager.
“But as a few eagle-eyed people have already seen over the past 24 hours, there are a few clues waiting for you during a very important night in Witcher history, Belleteyn’s Night, during our Belleteyn Celebration that we shared a few weeks ago. So… keep looking for clues.”
Amerlia Korzycka, expert community and social media manager at CDPR, added that Geralt’s new sword is “a very important sword for the story” and that fans should learn more “in a few more streams” before the expansion launches.
When asked how big Songs of the Past would be, Beitzel said it “will be aligned with what you know in Blood and wineand what you experienced and expected from us when we make our expansions”, which suggests that it will be around the same scale and could take between 20 and 30 hours to complete both the main story and side content.
“This is an expansion, let’s be clear,” Beitzel stressed.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs from the Past will launch in 2027, and players will once again assume the role of Geralt and “embark on an all-new adventure before setting out on the Path as Ciri in the upcoming The Witcher 4“.
