Witcher 3 Studio Sees Next-Gen Delays as a Benefit to Development

Rebel Wolves director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz says delaying PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox could actually help development, since new platforms bring lots of new challenges and require extra testing across multiple builds. The studio’s current project, The Blood of Dawnwalker, releases in September across console and PC, and porting to future hardware would mean even more work. Any gains from newer hardware would mainly be visual due to more RAM and a faster CPU, while broader industry context notes rising memory costs and talk of a digital‑only future.

Witcher 3's Songs of the Past pushed to 2027 as a 'prologue' to Witcher 4

CD Projekt Red revealed in an earnings call that The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past will launch in 2027 instead of this year, described as a large expansion and a prologue to The Witcher 4. Co-developed by Fool’s Theory, it’s expected to have a scope similar to Blood and Wine, with pricing and exact dates yet to be announced. The company plans three Witcher games in six years, and Witcher 4 expansions aren’t expected; a Gamescom reveal will be guided rather than hands-on, with higher PC requirements anticipated.

Ornate Witcher 3 Sword Hints at Songs of the Past in Beltane Artwork

CD Projekt Red's Belleteyn artwork shows Geralt with two swords, including an ornate crossguard that exactly matches the sword in the Songs of the Past expansion artwork, fueling theories it’s a deliberate Easter egg or tease about the expansion (potentially its setting around Cidaris) or even Ciri’s blade; comparing it to Witcher 4 trailers suggests it’s not the exact weapon, but fans note the sword-count motif grows with each expansion, with more details expected later.

Hype Isn’t Destiny: Why The Witcher 3 Didn’t Click for Me

An Ars Technica personal essay argues that consensus and genre labels don’t reliably predict what you’ll enjoy. The author disliked The Witcher 3’s power-fantasy focus and fixed identity, preferring RPGs that let you grow from novice to master and craft a personal alter ego. The piece contrasts Witcher 3 with games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Mass Effect, notes the dangers of hype and influencer culture, and urges readers to know what they actually like rather than chasing what’s fashionable. It also touches on a craving for more varied, newer-game discussions and invites reader feedback, ending with a reminder that sale prices can still offer value for exploration.
