The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past Expansion 'Is, in a Way, a Prologue' for the Series' Future

Tom Phillips — Fri, 29 May 2026 11:13:03 +0000

The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past Is an Expansion, Not DLC, CD Projekt Insists While Using IGN Interview With Idris Elba to Make the Point

The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past DLC Expansion Announced Ahead of 2027 Release - IGN Daily Fix

IGN India — Wed, 27 May 2026 22:07:02 +0000

In today's Daily Fix:CD Projekt RED has made it official: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting (at least) one more expansion in the form of Songs of the Past. It's scheduled for release in 2027 and is the third major DLC for The Witcher 3, coming about 11 years after the last expansion, Blood and Wine. This should hold fans over while they wait for The Witcher 4, which currently has no release date. In other open-world RPG news, Warhorse Studios teased their upcoming Lord of the Rings game, and reassured fans of their Kingdom Come: Deliverance games that the LOTR RPG will be similar to those. And finally, Valve is not immune to the global economic situation as they have now raised the price of the Steam Deck OLED models. The 1tb and 512gb models will go up around $230-$300 depending on the hard drive space. The original LCD models appear to have been unaffected (for now).Thinking of coming to IGN Live 2026?

DLSS 5 will Never Look as Good as V-Rally 3 on the Game Boy Advance

IGN India — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

DLSS 5's AI generated game "enhancement" has gone down like a lead balloon in the gaming community. But there's plenty of love out there for the humble Game Boy Advance, a dinky little machine with a 16MHz processor that could barely handle more than 20 polygons on screen. And still, I'd rather play V-Rally 3 on the Game Boy Advance than see another frame of Starfield being butchered by Nvidia's devisive new tech, that takes infinitely more energy to generate than the twin-AA powered GBA could ever dream of. Maybe we need to consider that less is more. Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 undoubtedly look better with raytracing enabled, and technologies like DLSS and AMD's FSR have been crucial for achieveing it. But is DLSS 5's AI filter a step too far?

Let’s take a look at that last one: here’s everything added to The Witcher 3 since launch.

The Witcher 3 Could Be Getting Another Expansion - Unlocked Clips

IGN India — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 14:30:00 +0000

Evidence continues to mount that The Witcher 3 may be getting a surprise third expansion, nearly a decade after its last DLC, Blood and Wine. New reports suggest CD Projekt Red may be planning a brand-new adventure set in Zerrikania, a desert region long teased in Witcher lore, potentially giving the expansion a striking, Dune-like feel.

The Rumored Witcher Expansion Makes a Strong Case for Old Games Getting New DLC - Beyond Clips

IGN India — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Rumors have been circulating that CD Projekt Red has a brand new expansion in the works for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to hold fans over and set the stage for The Witcher IV’s eventual release. This is awesome, and has us wondering what other massively successful games released a decade or so ago could also sustain a similar approach? We’ve seen Skyrim and Fallout 4 get the occasional upgrade patch or small content drop, but surely if new story content was added, there’s a sizable audience for it? Hopefully these Witcher 3 rumors hold true, it would be nice to see more of Geralt sooner than later. Beyond!

Ghost of Yotei Beer, Death Stranding Hot Sauce & More Weird Gaming Collabs You Can Eat - Beyond 929

IGN India — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Hey, remember when consumer electronics giant Sony used to bring consumer electronics electronics to the annual Consumer Electronics Show? Well, this year, Sony’s showing was basically just Sony Honda Mobility’s upcoming EV, the Afeela. Which is technically an electronic thing you can consume, and also something you can use to play video games, as long as you’ve got a PS5 plugged in at home… but it’s a bit of a let down compared to previous years. On the bright (literally) side, some cool new PS5 plates and controllers are coming in very loud colors, including one particular shade usually reserved for Xbox gear. There are rumors that CD Projekt Red has plans for a third expansion to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sometime in the near future to help pave the way for The Witcher IV, which makes sense when you consider how many copies the last game has sold since 2015. We mutter softly to ourselves about some other games that could learn a thing or two from this hypothetical approach, like Bethesda’s big winners, Skyrim and Fallout 4, plus Persona 5 and maybe Star Wars Battlefront 2. Old games deserve love too, could this hold us over when the new ones take so long to make? In the meantime, we always have exciting crossovers between our favorite video games and popular consumer brands, like Ghost of Yotei and Sapporo beer, or Borderlands 4-branded Voodoo Ranger IPAs. The Last of Us mushroom coffee might be a little too on the nose, and Death Stranding 2 hot sauce might not be for the faint of heart, but it’s still a nice diversion from boring food and drink products that don’t have pictures of video games on them.

In today's Daily Fix:The Witcher 3 maybe 10 years old, but that's not stopping the rumor mill from suggesting new DLC is on the way. Via IGN Poland, sources have apparently been aware of plans to drop a new expansion featuring the desert region Zerrikania. CD Projekt Red has not confirmed anything, but they have reportedly been dropping hints.

And finally, a new Xbox Developer Direct is dropping on January 22, and will give us first gameplay of Forza Horizon 6 and a fresh look at the Fable reboot.
