!The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Songs of the Past DLC Expansion CD Projekt Red Geralt of Rivia(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/27/d7bbdc44/Witcher%20DLC%20.jpg.webp) The Witcher IV(https://gameinformer.com/product/the-witcher-iv) and Cyberpunk 2077(https://gameinformer.com/review/cyberpunk-2077/cyberpunk-2077-review-a-wild-time-in-night-city) developer CD Projekt Red has announced a new DLC expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt(https://gameinformer.com/product/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt). Yes, you read that right – it's for the game that launched in 2015. It's called Songs of the Past, stars Geralt of Rivia, and launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2027. There's no word on what to expect in this expansion, as the only thing CDPR has revealed is the title and the key art (see header image), but given the name, it might see Geralt battling something from his past. CDPR is developing the expansion with Fools Theory(https://gameinformer.com/2022/10/04/cd-projekt-red-announces-new-cyberpunk-game-multiple-witcher-games-and-new-ip), the studio that is developing a remake of the first Witcher game(https://gameinformer.com/2022/10/26/cd-projekt-red-reveals-codename-canis-majoris-is-a-remake-of-the-first-witcher-game). The teams will reveal more information about Songs of the Past in "late Summer 2026." Songs of the Past will be a nice return/finale for Geralt, considering the next mainline Witcher game, The Witcher IV, will see you play as Ciri, the Witcher-in-training who tagged along with Geralt in The Witcher 3(https://gameinformer.com/games/thewitcher3wildhunt/b/playstation4/archive/2015/05/12/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-review-game-informer.aspx). You can get a new look at Ciri (and her horse companion Kelpie) in the latest Unreal Engine technical showcase here(https://gameinformer.com/2025/06/03/get-a-new-look-at-the-witcher-iv-in-unreal-engine-technical-showcase). With a new expansion coming in 2027, it's likely that even more new players will check out The Witcher 3, which has already surpassed 60 million copies sold since its 2015 launch. While waiting to learn more about Songs of the Past, head to Game Informer's coverage hub for The Blood of Dawnwalker(https://gameinformer.com/dawnwalker), which is a game being developed by a team of CDPR veterans and the latest game to grace our cover(https://gameinformer.com/cover-reveal/2026/05/12/cover-reveal-the-blood-of-dawnwalker).

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformThe Witcher 3 Is Getting New DLC Nearly 12 Years After Launch
The Witcher 3(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/) developer CD Projekt Red has announced the new Songs of the Past expansion for the game, which comes 11 years after its second expansion, Blood and Wine. Co-developed with Fool's Theory--a studio that includes several Witcher 3 veterans and previously released The Thaumaturge in 2024--Songs of the Past will be revealed in more detail later this year. What CDPR has revealed is that the expansion will launch in 2027 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions of The Witcher 3, and it will once again revolve around Geralt of Rivia. Rumors about a new Witcher 3 DLC(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-some-believe-a-witcher-3-expansion-is-coming-soon/1100-6537282/) began picking up earlier this year, with initial reports(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-some-believe-a-witcher-3-expansion-is-coming-soon/1100-6537282/) speculating that the DLC could see players visit the far-eastern destination of Zerrikania. New reports claimed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rumored-witcher-3-dlc-likely-to-stay-close-to-velen-bridging-the-gap-between-witcher-3-and-4/1100-6538406/) that the DLC will instead reuse existing assets and will be set in the territories of Temeria and Redania. CDPR has also confirmed that system requirements for The Witcher 3 on PC will be updated to "ensure smooth performance and compatibility" going forward. This means that any Witcher 3 player running the game on a Windows 10 operating system will need to upgrade to Windows 11 if they want to keep playing it. If you're curious, you can check out the updated PC specs below for The Witcher 3: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8400 - GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB - VRAM: 6GB - RAM: 12GB - Storage: 70GB SSD - Operating System: 64-bit Windows 11 Curiously, CDPR also teased(https://x.com/thewitcher/status/2059560464082743560) something else for this week. "We originally planned to make this big reveal during our REDstreams tomorrow, but let’s say we found something we didn't yet expect on RED Launcher," the studio said in a social media post that included wolf and swords emojis, symbols related to The Witcher franchise. It's a busy time for The Witcher franchise currently, as not only is there new content on the way for The Witcher 3, but the first game is getting a remake(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-remake-will-be-fully-open-world-unlike-the-original/1100-6509525/) and The Witcher 4 is also in development(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-4-and-new-ip-at-cd-projekt-get-fresh-updates-heres-the-latest/1100-6538907/). Outside of that franchise, CDPR is also working on a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-sequel-release-date-trailer-story/1100-6526333/), and a new Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series is also in the works.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformAn Unexpected Lego Game Could Be Coming Very Soon
The summer wave of video game announcements is nearly upon us, with a PlayStation State of Play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-confirmed-for-june-2/1100-6540054/), Summer Game Fest Live(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-2026-announced-for-june-2026/1100-6535415/), and an Xbox Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-games-showcase-set-for-june-7-gears-of-war-e-day-deep-dive-to-follow/1100-6539086/) already scheduled within a six-day span(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/every-video-game-showcase-to-watch-in-2026/2900-7446/) of one another. A few hints as to what may show up during reveal season are starting to surface, including one that will have Lego fans raising an eyebrow: Paradox Interactive's Lego Skylines. Via Gematsu(https://www.gematsu.com/2026/05/lego-skylines-by-paradox-interactive-persona-4-revival-and-more-rated-in-korea), the name Lego Skylines has appeared among other known upcoming projects on a recent ratings report by the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea, the country's ESRB equivalent. Paradox Interactive, the developer of the Cities Skylines franchise of city-builder games, is listed as the developer, but no other information is provided. This is the first time a Lego Skylines game has been mentioned publicly, as there has been no formal announcement from either Paradox or Lego as of this writing. The Swedish firm's last project in the franchise was Cities Skyline II, though the studio has also released both Europa Universalis V and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 since then. A licensed Lego game has already launched a game in 2026, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, which released earlier this month. Lego Batman follows Lego Party, a blocky take on Mario Party, and Lego Voyagers, a cozy co-op platformer, which both launched in the second half of 2025.
