A Polish leak names The Witcher 3's third DLC — but the details don't quite add up

A new leak claims The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a third story DLC titled Songs of the Past, with Geralt of Rivia returning as protagonist. The claim comes from a single Polish source on X, @PrDiader leak (Polish source), and conflicts with several other pieces of reporting already in circulation. CD Projekt RED has stayed officially silent — but a cryptic May 28 livestream could change that fast.

The leak

The post, shared on X, includes a photo of what appears to be a web page listing the DLC's title, protagonist, and a 2027 release window. All three details are contested. Polish insider sources, including the Rock i Borys podcast, have previously reported that the DLC focuses on Ciri, not Geralt — which would make more narrative sense given that Blood and Wine ended with the Witcher retiring to his vineyard in Toussaint. A Noble Securities analyst, per Screen Rant, puts the release window at September 2026, not 2027.

What we actually know

The firmer ground is this: CD Projekt confirmed a May 28 livestream marking the 10th anniversary of Blood and Wine. Fans and press immediately read it as a likely DLC announcement vehicle, and the timing — scheduled 30 minutes before an investor call — adds weight to that reading, notes GameRant. The studio developing the DLC is widely reported to be Fool's Theory, a Polish studio staffed by former Witcher 3 quest designers who made the well-received RPG The Thaumaturge. The DLC is said to serve as a narrative bridge between Witcher 3 and the upcoming Witcher 4, the first game in a new trilogy.

The lore problem

If the leak's Geralt claim is accurate, it creates a direct tension with Blood and Wine's ending — one of the most definitive send-offs in modern RPG storytelling. The insider consensus leans toward Ciri as protagonist, which would align logically with Witcher 4's setup. Pricing and platform details haven't been mentioned in any source, and regional availability remains unspecified.

The May 28 stream starts at 5 PM CEST. If CD Projekt does announce the DLC there, most of this will be settled within hours.
