Surprise Witcher 3 Expansion Reunites Geralt and Dandelion on Letten

CD Projekt Red unveils Songs of the Past, a free, late-era Witcher 3 expansion set on the Letten island that focuses on friendship with Dandelion, overhauls combat with more active abilities and new tools like the iron chain, modernizes exploration and controls with a 2.0-style refresh, and brings back Geralt voiced by Doug Cockle. The story leans into Sapkowski’s fairy-tale roots with a dreamlike, darker aesthetic and uses focused 40-minute gameplay beats to keep players engaged, arriving as a day-one free release and on Switch.

Letten Locator: Witcher 3 Expansion Lies Near Witcher 4’s Region

Fool's Theory's Peter Gelencser explained in a CDPR Gamescom stream that Letten, the birthplace of Dandelion and the setting for Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, sits in the north between Kovir and Kaedwen along the Gulf of Praxeda and the Nimnar river—roughly near Gelibol and Blaviken—though it doesn't appear on maps yet. This places the expansion close to The Witcher 4's region in Kovir. Songs of the Past unfolds after Blood and Wine, with a release planned for next year on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2; CDPR also announced a Witcher 3 Remaster.

Witcher 3 expansion omits Russian voices, remaster arrives, Witcher 4 delayed to 2028

CD Projekt Red said The Witcher 3’s upcoming expansion Songs of the Past will drop Russian voice acting and switch to Polish at launch, with Russian subtitles/text still available; the move follows its decision to cease cooperation with tax residents of Russia and Belarus since March 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though the base game and older expansions keep Russian VO. A remastered Witcher 3 is due September 29 as a free upgrade, and Witcher 4’s release has been pushed to 2028, triggering a ~6% drop in the company’s shares.
