The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past to be 'dreamier' than the base game
CD Projekt Red has offered a glimpse into the tonal direction of Songs of the Past, the upcoming expansion for The Witcher 3. According to the developers, the project is expected to be "a lot dreamier" than a "bread-and-butter Witcher story," mirroring the stylistic approach seen in the Blood and Wine DLC.
In an interview with VGC, quest designer Paweł Sasko explained how the expansion fits into the existing narrative structure. While the base game represents the core Witcher story and Hearts of Stone acts as an extension of that, Songs of the Past will lean into a more experimental stylistic approach. Sasko noted that while this doesn't necessarily mean the story becomes more ridiculous or funny, the art and music will contribute to a more dream-like atmosphere.
This shift in tone is intended to provide space for exploring aspects of the world that the base game and previous expansions did not focus on. Specifically, the developers want to delve deeper into the relationship between Geralt and Dandelion. Karolina Kuzia-Rokosz, creative vision director at Fool’s Theory, emphasized that Dandelion often acts as the character who pierces Geralt's emotional shell, serving as both a voice of reason and comic relief.
The goal is to showcase a side of Dandelion that has not yet been fully explored—a part of him that makes him truly human. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the expansion is expected to arrive next year, offering a new perspective on the characters' long-standing friendship.
