Developers working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s upcoming third expansion, Songs of the Past, have confirmed that the project will match the scope of the game’s legendary second expansion, Blood and Wine.
Speaking in an interview with Fall Damage, development leads from CD Projekt RED and co-developer Fool’s Theory revealed new details about what players can expect from Geralt of Rivia’s next chapter.
“It’s definitely bigger than the first expansion,” a developer stated during the interview, referring to The Witcher 3’s first expansion, Hearts of Stone. “In many aspects of the scope, it’s comparable to the second expansion, Blood and Wine.”
The developers teased that players will explore a whole new land designed with a distinct atmosphere and visual identity. “We are speaking of new land to explore, like a whole new place to explore… with a unique identity,” the team shared.
In terms of raw content, Songs of the Past aims to deliver a full-length adventure. The expansion will feature a comprehensive main story alongside extensive side quests and world activities designed to keep players engaged for dozens of hours. The team highlighted that players can expect a “similar amount of hours spent on completing the main story, the side story, all the side activities, and then many, many more similarities” to Blood and Wine.
