Triss Merigold from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The new Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, is reportedly being made by a team of about 190 people.
That’s roughly the same size as the team that worked on the original base game, or maybe even a bit bigger.
Most of the development is being handled by the studio Fool’s Theory, while a small group of up to 19 people from CD Projekt Red is overseeing the creative side.
The project is already deep into production and will be as big as the Blood and Wine expansion. You play as Geralt exploring a completely new location. More details are coming later this summer.

Former Destiny boss Mark Noseworthy thinks the new Witcher 3 DLC is a great idea, especially with The Witcher 4 on the horizon.
Sharing his thoughts on the announcement, Noseworthy said:
“Gets the Witcher (game brand) in the current gamer discussion and grows the audience for W4. Half a generation of players weren’t of age when W3 shipped.”
The Witcher 3 launched in 2015, and many of today’s gamers were too young to play it or weren’t gaming at all when it first came out.
A new expansion gives those players a reason to jump in while bringing veteran fans back to Geralt’s world.
More than 10 years after release, The Witcher 3 is still considered one of the best RPGs ever made

CD Projekt Red says fans should not expect a major expansion for The Witcher 4, as the studio is focused on releasing three new Witcher games within six years.
Speaking during a recent investor call, joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said making large expansions would be “difficult” while trying to keep such an ambitious release schedule.
Right now, CDPR seems more interested in pushing the new Witcher saga forward than spending years adding extra content to each game.
If everything goes to plan, fans could see new Witcher games arrive more often, but probably with fewer big expansions.
