The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a third expansion, Songs of the Past, in 2027, and on November 12, 2026 a new detail made headlines: CD PROJEKT RED used AI to adjust the Polish voice of Geralt. Here is what the studio itself has confirmed, what was reported this week, and what is still unknown (sources read November 13, 2026, Paris time).
1. What CD PROJEKT RED has officially announced
- May 27, 2026: the studio announced a third Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, for 2027, co-developed with Fool's Theory, a team of Witcher 3 veterans. At that time it listed PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
- August 25, 2026 (gamescom Opening Night Live): a first teaser revealed Letten, a new realm described as an idyllic land of rural tradition, harvests and festivals that hides "a dark secret just below the surface". Geralt must face "never-before-seen foes". The studio says Songs of the Past is a paid expansion for 2027 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, and that it can be wishlisted on select platforms.
- The official Witcher site only says "Coming in 2027": there is no release date, no price and no edition list at the time of writing.
2. Free expansions and the Remastered upgrade
- On August 25, CD PROJEKT RED said all current owners of The Witcher 3 got Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine for free, ahead of the Remastered launch.
- The studio announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered for September 29, 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as a free upgrade for existing owners on qualifying platforms, with a native Nintendo Switch 2 version and a Battle.net release.
- If Remastered gives you trouble on PC, see our dedicated troubleshooting guide on the Witcher 3 community.
3. The Polish voice of Geralt: what was reported on November 11-12
- Game File (Stephen Totilo, November 11) and PC Gamer (Andy Chalk, November 12) report that CD Projekt worked with the AI voice company Respeecher on Geralt's Polish voice in Songs of the Past.
- The actor, Jacek Rozenek, who voiced Geralt in the Polish versions of the games, had a stroke in 2019. His voice is now lower and gruffer. The expansion takes place during the events of The Witcher 3 and adds new lines that play next to the original ones, so the studio feared a jarring mismatch.
- With his permission, Rozenek still records every new line himself; Respeecher then adjusts the recording so it sounds like his voice from about 12 years ago. Rozenek is quoted as saying this voice "should be as close as possible to my voice from 12 years ago".
- CD Projekt's localization producer Mikołaj Szwed called it "a special case" and said the studio does not plan the same treatment for Doug Cockle's English voice (PC Gamer, reporting Game File).
- This is a reported interview, not an official CD PROJEKT RED press release. We read the PC Gamer article and the free part of the Game File article (the full Game File article is behind a paywall).
4. What we do not know yet
- Release date, price, length, system requirements and the PC file size: not announced.
- Whether the expansion needs the Remastered version: not stated in the pages we read.
- Whether other languages are affected: only the Polish voice work is described.
5. Your turn
Are you replaying The Witcher 3 before the expansion, and does the AI voice adjustment for Geralt in Polish bother you or reassure you, given the actor's consent? Tell us in the comments, and say which language you play in.
