CD Projekt Red used its Gamescom 2026 livestream to share a fresh batch of gameplay clips from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, offering a look at Geralt in action in the upcoming expansion.

The clips appeared during the studio’s official Witcher channel stream, which ran from 10:00 to 19:00 on August 26. According to Vida Extra, a dedicated Gameplay and Features segment was scheduled from 13:45 to 14:30, followed by a German-language repeat at 17:30. Rather than a single polished sizzle reel, CD Projekt shared several short gameplay snippets with an in-game HUD.

What the Clips Showed

The footage included Geralt riding to a mansion in daylight, a moonlit sequence in which he talks with a character named Lilla, and a scene inside the mansion where he speaks with figures connected to Jaskier. Combat footage also showed a fight against a plant-like monster that attacks from range with purple poison, as well as clips of Geralt battling a humanoid creature called Swarmion using a silver chain.

Earlier reporting from GamingBolt said that roughly 13 minutes of gameplay were shown during the stream. GamingBolt described the footage as following Geralt through a quest it called A Bed of Throns in the new region of Letten.

What’s Next

The free The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered update, which includes the Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone expansions, is due on September 29, according to RPGFan. Songs of the Past is slated to follow in 2027.
