  "account": "Milan Records has unveiled a five-track EP featuring original music from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's forthcoming Songs of the Past expansion. The EP, titled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past (Original Soundtrack Gamescom 2026 EP), showcases compositions by Magda Urbanska, Marcin Pryzbylowicz, and Daniel Elms. Urbanska, with a background in classical music, highlighted the unique challenges of working with folk music, emphasizing its distinct tone and form, while also preserving The Witcher's Slavic heritage. The publisher describes the new music as a continuation of the rich musical identity of the franchise, blending orchestral writing with traditional folk influences, powerful vocal performances, and regional instrumentation. The EP, which can be streamed now, includes the tracks \"Return to the Path\" by Magda Urbańska, \"Awoken\" by Urbańska, \"Into Darkness\" by Daniel Elms, \"What's Done\" by Marcin Przybyłowicz, and \"Belleteyn Night\" by Urbańska. This marks the first expansion in over a decade for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which was named IGN's Game of the Year in 2015.",
