A New The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Expansion? Songs of the Past Announced
An Appropriate Name For DLC For An 11 Year Old Game
Oh look, a reason to think about replaying Witcher 3 yet again. CD Projekt Red have announced the existence of a new DLC called Songs of the Past; no details on content nor availability though. The only thing they did reveal was that the minimum hardware requirements have gone up. It will only run on Win11, at least until someone figures out how to bypass that check, and you will need to load it on an SSD. That is wise, you simply don’t want to run a new AAA title on spinning rust.
As for the other hardware, you will now need a Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-8400, a GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB and from the sounds of it the DLC will be around 70GB.
Speaking of old games getting updates, it looks like Fallout 4 did as well.
Unlike the full-fat sequel, Songs of the Past will still star Geralt in the main playable role, though that’s about it for current details. It does, in fact, look an awful lot like CDPR rushed this announcement out sharpish, following an apparently premature reveal on the Polish version of CDPR's RED launcher.
