The developer premiered a CGI trailer that presents an original story and links The Witcher 3\u2019s narrative to the upcoming The Witcher 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug Cockle returns as the voice of Geralt of Rivia. CD Projekt said the expansion follows Geralt roughly ten years after the Blood and Wine expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2092341969720615032\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n            <noscript>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2092341969720615032\" target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\n                    View this tweet on Twitter\n                <\/a>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n    \n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A playable build of Songs of the Past is available on the Gamescom show floor, giving attendees an early look at new gameplay and story content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CD Projekt will publish The Witcher 3 Remastered as a free update for existing owners on September 29, 2026. The company described the remaster as including upgrades and enhancements to refresh the base game for current platforms ahead of the expansion\u2019s release later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CD Projekt first informed staff of the expansion\u2019s development last year, and lead game designer Konrad Tomaszkiewicz confirmed the project publicly before the Gamescom reveal. The company has not released full platform or pricing details for Songs of the Past; further information is expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CD
