A new expansion pack for 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,' now approaching its 11th year since launch, has been surprisingly unveiled.
CD Projekt Red announced the new expansion pack for 'The Witcher 3,' titled 'Songs of the Past,' via its official X account. CD Projekt Red stated, "While the plan was to reveal it during a scheduled online broadcast on the 29th, an unexpected situation occurred with the REDlauncher."
The new expansion is being developed in collaboration with Fool's Theory, the studio behind 'Seven Enhanced Edition' and 'The Thaumaturge,' and CD Projekt Red. While details remain undisclosed, it's speculated that protagonist Geralt will once again face off against monstrous foes.
Additionally, the minimum system requirements for the PC version of The Witcher 3 are set to change alongside the new expansion. An SSD will be required for storage instead of an HDD, and as Windows 10 support has ended, the game will only be playable with graphics cards that continue to receive driver support on Windows 11.
Songs of the Past is slated for release in 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. More information about the game is expected to be revealed later this summer.

출시 11년차를 바라보는 '더 위쳐 3: 와일드 헌트(The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)'의 신규 확장팩이 깜짝 공개됐다.
CD 프로젝트 레드는 공식 X를 통해 '위쳐 3' 신규 확장팩 '송즈 오브 더 패스트(Songs of the Past)'를 공개했다. CD 프로젝트 레드는 "본래 29일 예고된 온라인 방송에서 공개할 계획이었으나, 레드 런처에 예상치 못한 상황이 발생했다"라고 전했다.
새로운 확장팩은 '세븐 인핸스드 에디션'과 '디 쏘마터지'를 개발한 풀스 씨어리와 CD 프로젝트 레드가 함께 개발한다. 어떤 내용이 담길지는 알려지지 않았으나, 주인공 게롤트가 다시 한 번 괴물들과 싸울 것으로 추측된다.
한편 신규 확장팩과 함께 위쳐 3 PC판의 최소 요구 사양이 변경될 예정이다. 저장장치는 HDD가 아닌 SSD를 요구하며, 윈도우 10 지원이 종료된 만큼 윈도우 11에서 드라이버 지원이 계속되는 그래픽 카드로만 플레이 가능하다.
송즈 오브 더 패스트는 2027년 PC, Xbox 시리즈 X/S, PS5로 출시되며, 게임에 대한 더 다양한 정보는 올 늦여름 공개될 예정이다.
