[Get ready to pet those pups! CD Projekt Red is bringing the much-requested feature to The Witcher 3 with the upcoming “Songs of the Past” expansion.]
For years, players have yearned for a simple act in The Witcher 3: petting a dog. It seems like a small thing, but it’s become synonymous with the game itself. Now, CD Projekt Red is finally delivering on that wish with the “Songs of the Past” expansion, alongside a comprehensive remaster.
A Long Time Coming: The Dog-Petting Saga
While Geralt could interact with horses and other creatures in the original release (and even rescue puppies!), actually petting them was sadly absent. This omission became a running joke within the community, spawning countless memes and heartfelt pleas for its inclusion. Now, those cries have been heard!
“Songs of the Past”: A New Chapter for The Witcher
Scheduled for release in 2027, “Songs of the Past” will be the third major expansion for The Witcher 3, following the critically acclaimed “Hearts of Stone” and “Blood and Wine.” This new chapter promises to introduce players to previously unseen enemies and a looming darkness that has long slumbered in the Letten region. You can check out the latest gameplay footage from Gamescom here.
This expansion builds upon the foundation of the original game, which debuted back in 2015. The upcoming remaster will also bring significant visual and performance enhancements, ensuring that “Songs of the Past” looks and runs its absolute best. While the ability to pet dogs is likely exclusive to the expansion itself, it’s highly probable that other quality-of-life improvements from the remaster will be incorporated into the core game experience.
