Development
The first reports that a third expansion for The Witcher 3 was in development came in June 2025 from Polish industry insider Borys Nieśpielak.[2] In November 2025, CD Projekt chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said in the company's Q3 2025 earnings call that "new content [...] may see release in the coming year" that could have "an impact" on their financial results.[3] Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski also mentioned that there was an "other project" in development at Fool's Theory in addition to their work on the remake of The Witcher (2007) and their support work on The Witcher IV.[3] In December, Polish analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski wrote a report about the upcoming expansion being developed by Fool's Theory and that its release "should kick off the proper marketing campaign for The Witcher IV".[4] Chrzanowski claimed that the expansion would have a production budget of 52 million zł (ca. €12 million/US$14 million).[4]
Songs of the Past was co-developed between CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory.[5]
Release
Songs of the Past was announced on 27 May 2026, 10 years after the release of the previous expansion Blood and Wine.[6] A day previously, CD Projekt Red had announced a Blood and Wine anniversary stream set for 28 May.[7] They had originally planned to announce Songs of the Past on 28 May but it was accidentally revealed early through CD Projekt Red's REDlauncher.[6] CD Projekt Red were originally planning to release Songs of the Past in 2026 but delayed it to 2027 "to achieve the best possible result" according to co-CEO Michał Nowakowski.[8]
