The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past Gameplay is Shown at Gamescom
CD Projekt Red showed a gameplay demo of approximately 45 minutes for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past at Gamescom 2026. Following this, a selected 13-minute segment from the demo was also shared. The footage highlights Geralt exploring the Letten region, his journey to Lettenhove Manor, connected to Dandelion’s past, and pursuing a dark threat alongside Dandelion’s cousin Lilla in the “A Bed of Thorns” quest chain.
The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past Brings New Enemies and Weapons
The shared gameplay video shows Geralt exploring Letten after the harvest festival held the previous night. The story then extends to Lettenhove Manor, where Dandelion spent his childhood. The longer demo shown at Gamescom reportedly delves deeper into the strange curse on Dandelion’s family and the reasons behind the character’s disappearance.
In the “A Bed of Thorns” quest, Geralt and Lilla investigate a dark threat growing beneath the seemingly tranquil landscape. This section is also significant for showcasing the revamped combat system. The visuals reveal a new enemy called Swarmion and a new grappling hook weapon Geralt can use. The lengthy demo also features a boss battle at the end of the quest and a cliffhanger that takes the story to the next chapter.
Songs of the Past will not only add a new region and story; it will also benefit from changes made in the remastered version of The Witcher 3. With the free remaster update releasing on September 29th, lighting, combat mechanics, and the skill tree will be reworked. Additionally, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine content will be included in the Complete Edition package on all copies.
The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past is expected to be released in 2027. The Gamescom demo shows that the expansion pack will not only take Geralt on a new adventure but also modernize the game’s core systems. Before the new trilogy begins with The Witcher 4, this content can serve as a powerful bridge to bring players back to Geralt’s world.
