What to Expect from Songs of the Past

While specific gameplay details remain under wraps until next month's showcase, the studio has provided context regarding the scale of the project. CD Projekt Red indicated that Songs of the Past is intended to be significant in size, comparing its scope to the 2016 Blood and Wine expansion.
