CD Projekt Red has shared a new detail regarding The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past ahead of its scheduled presentation at Gamescom Opening Night Live. While the studio has kept most details under wraps, they have officially confirmed that the fan-favorite card game, Gwent, will return as part of the new DLC.
Official Reveal Schedule
Players looking for a deeper look at the expansion can tune into Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026. The presentation is set to begin at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET, where the developer will provide the first official in-game footage of the content.
What This Means for Players
The confirmation of Gwent’s inclusion serves as a bridge to the gameplay loops established in the original 2015 release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. By bringing back the card game, CD Projekt Red ensures that the tactical, turn-based side activity will be available to players participating in the Songs of the Past content, though the developer has not yet detailed how the card game will be integrated into the new narrative or specific mission structures.
