A new expansion pack for 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,' now approaching its 11th year since launch, has been surprisingly unveiled.

CD Projekt Red announced the new expansion pack for 'The Witcher 3,' titled 'Songs of the Past,' via its official X account. CD Projekt Red stated, "While the plan was to reveal it during a scheduled online broadcast on the 29th, an unexpected situation occurred with the REDlauncher."

The new expansion is being developed in collaboration with Fool's Theory, the studio behind 'Seven Enhanced Edition' and 'The Thaumaturge,' and CD Projekt Red. While details remain undisclosed, it's speculated that protagonist Geralt will once again face off against monstrous foes.

Additionally, the minimum system requirements for the PC version of The Witcher 3 are set to change alongside the new expansion. An SSD will be required for storage instead of an HDD, and as Windows 10 support has ended, the game will only be playable with graphics cards that continue to receive driver support on Windows 11.

Songs of the Past is slated for release in 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. More information about the game is expected to be revealed later this summer.
