CD Projekt Red is taking Geralt to a brand new region in 2027. In an interview at Lucca Comics & Games published on November 3, the studio’s level design lead Miles Tost and Songs of the Past writer Paula Meissner laid out the first details of The Witcher 3’s third expansion, which brings a new land called Lettin, new monsters, and new stories to a game now more than a decade old.
Songs of the Past is the third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, following Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, and CD Projekt Red says it will introduce an entirely new region to explore when it arrives in 2027. The base game first shipped on May 18, 2015, which makes this one of the longest content lives a single player RPG has ever had.
Lettin is built on British aristocracy and Polish countryside
The new region is called Lettin, spelled as such in the interview even where earlier coverage drifted toward “Letten.” Tost said its aristocracy carries British influences while the wider landscape draws heavily on Polish countryside traditions. “There are some British influences in the aristocracy there, but also we have very, very many Polish countryside influences there,” he said.
Lettin’s identity runs through its food and drink, too. Tost highlighted the region’s local alcohol, a honey-beer called Bracket, as a detail that carries a lot of weight in how the place is characterized. The new monster shown in the demo ties into the same economy: the Swarmion loves honey and uses hornets as a form of protection.
A canon fix for Regis
The expansion also answers a question Witcher fans have argued about since Blood and Wine ended. Tost said the DLC explains Regis’s return in that story by having the higher vampire come back at roughly 10 percent of his power, still recovering after another higher vampire helped him. Writer Paula Meissner added that CD Projekt Red keeps a dedicated internal lore team tracking every detail from Andrzej Sapkowski’s books and the franchise’s games.
Songs of the Past is set to arrive in 2027. CD Projekt Red has not yet announced a price, an exact release date, or a platform list for the expansion.
