The story for Witcher 3: Songs of the Past was actually written "years ago", according to Fool's Theory CEO
Last night, CD Projekt Red showed off the first footage we've seen for The Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past - new content for the game launching some 11 years after the base game was released. The expansion takes us to a new location, Letten, a bucolic country very far from the conflicts and politics that dominate the rest of the continent Geralt calls home. But all is not as it seems in…
The story for The Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, was penned years ago by CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory. The expansion was initially conceived by Ola Motyka and Philip Weber, who were writers on the base game, but it was later put aside for various reasons and resurfaced a few years later. Fool's Theory CEO Jakub Rokosz revealed that the team took inspiration from the Andrzej Sapkowski books but made it original, focusing on a deeper exploration of Dandelion's character.
The expansion is set in Letten, a new location far from the conflicts of the main continent, and will feature a variety of characters, including Dandelion's family. Rokosz and CDPR senior quest designer Despoina Anetaki emphasized the importance of Dandelion's lighthearted yet caring nature, contrasting him with Geralt's more serious demeanor.
The expansion is expected to be around 15 hours long, offering players plenty of content to delve into Dandelion's story and his relationship with Geralt.
