Ahead of The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, here's a "lore friendly unofficial expansion to Geralt's life in Toussaint" from a well-established quest modder
While its remastered upgrade might have broken cover in late September, The Witcher 3 's extra expansion isn't set to join it until next year. With 2027 still a month and a bit away, a modder's taken it upon themselves to add a few more adventures to Geralt's time in Toussaint, Blood and Wine's gorgeous French-ish duchy, before the bloke from the river heads off to Letten for Songs of the Past.…
In preparation for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, an unofficial expansion has been created by a skilled modder. This expansion, named Annals of the Duchy, introduces new quests to Geralt's life in Toussaint, the beautiful French-inspired Duchy from Blood and Wine. Currently, only the introduction of Annals of the Duchy is available, but the modder, Jontej, has plans to expand upon this further.
Jontej has utilized human actors for both English and Polish versions of the mod, moving away from AI voices previously employed in other custom Witcher 3 quests. The mod's creator also plans to create an additional storyline involving Syanna, a character from Blood and Wine's main quest. It should be noted that the mod can only be played after completing Blood and Wine's ending, where both Anna Henrietta and Syanna survive, as well as renovating Geralt's vineyard gardens.
The mod's additions to Geralt's life in Toussaint are well-integrated into the existing timeline, fitting seamlessly with the upcoming official Songs of the Past Expansion, which takes place after the events of the main game and Blood and Wine. Although The Witcher game trilogy already boasts an epic conclusion in Blood and Wine, Jontej's Annals of the Duchy mod provides fascinating glimpses into Geralt adjusting to his semi-retired life, exploring potential dungeons in the semi-retired Duchy of Toussaint.
