CD Projekt Red Confirms Gwent Returns in Upcoming Witcher 3 Expansion
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion for The Witcher 3 will include new Gwent content. The confirmation came from a community manager on social media. The expansion is expected to launch in 2027 and will serve as a prologue to the game's story.
The confirmation arrived via a brief social media exchange, with CD Projekt Red’s community manager Marcin Łukaszewski replying “Confirmed!” to a fan’s hope for new Gwent content. This follows the standalone Gwent spinoff from 2017 and a physical tabletop version released in 2025, showing the card game’s enduring appeal. Songs of the Past, slated for 2027, will act as a story prologue to The Witcher 3, arriving over a decade after the Blood and Wine expansion. More details are expected during gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live, with The Witcher 4 also confirmed for 2028.
This news could reignite interest in The Witcher 3’s decade-old ecosystem, drawing returning players and newcomers alike into its card-based side activity. For the gaming community, it may reinforce Gwent’s status as a cultural touchstone, potentially boosting engagement with the franchise ahead of The Witcher 4. However, its impact likely remains niche, affecting dedicated fans more than the broader public, and may serve mainly as a nostalgic bridge between installments.
