The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past’s setting “felt like a really natural way to go”, CD Projekt Red story director says, while parrying my attempts to breach the DLC’s guard
CD Projekt Red’s story director has explained that The Witcher 3’s upcoming expansion Songs of the Past felt like “a really natural way to go” for the game’s setting. The expansion, announced after a decade since the original game’s release, represents a significant return to the beloved RPG franchise.
In discussing the creative decision behind the expansion’s setting, the story director emphasized how organic the choice felt to the development team. However, CD Projekt Red has remained largely secretive about other narrative details, preferring to preserve story surprises for players.
This guarded approach has frustrated some industry observers eager to learn more about this additional chapter to a story many assumed had concluded a decade ago. While CD Projekt Red has revealed the expansion’s setting and introduced some characters players will encounter, the studio has avoided disclosing substantial plot details or narrative specifics.
The expansion represents a return to one of gaming’s most celebrated worlds. However, CD Projekt Red’s cautious information control leaves significant questions about the scope, duration, and story arc of Songs of the Past unanswered.
