Medallion's humming... that can only mean one thing! It's time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past! ⚔️
This brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more. It’s being co-developed with @Fools_Theory and is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2027. Stay tuned for more information in late summer. ⏰
Well, CDPR, you’re a strange production company, but you make a good narration-driven RPG.
What!?........ What!?
Can I see it?
Mm... in late summer. ⏰
And I love them for it!
Please be good please be good dear god please be good
Localized entirely within your kitchen?!
So we won‘t get Witcher 4 for at least another 2 years, then.
As we learned with Cyberpunk, it's much better for them to take their time.
Witcher 4 will just be a DLC for Cyberpunk 2077
Jokes aside I would be incredibly down for them to tie those two settings together like they've teased about forever
Give us Ciri in 2077 make a whole game about it
Can I see it?
I loved Blood and Wine, I hope this comes close to it.

Is this why we have no more Cyberpunk? Also when will they work on original IP?
No, this is done by a third party, like how the Oblivion remastered was done. Oversight is done by CDPR though so I have hopes that the story will hold up. They also know they have a high bar after Cyberpunk's release.
Their roadmap is the same, from what they publicly share. All effort is being poured into W4, while Cyberpunk (2, 2078, who knows), is probably in early development, with the majority of the team swiveling to that once W4 releases
I get that with a remaster, I’ve seen that with other games. Why would a third-party studio contribute additional content to a game made by a different studio?
There's a multitude of reasons. Contracting/consulting has been a long standing thing in tech. This is the perfect application, they have something they want to do, they know it'll make money, but they don't have the staff capacity to do it themselves without throwing out their roadmap. So they go to someone else, write up contracts, have milestones and requirements, and the other team gets it done for them. Remaster, DLC, Hell Oblivion did all of Fallout NV for Bethesda. There are no rules on what can or can't be done. CDPR has done their QA through consultancy firms before, and that's pretty standard.
