CD Projekt Red’s long-awaited expansion, The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, looks set to expand Geralt’s romantic history.

Songs of the Past launches roughly 11 years after The Witcher 3, taking players to Letten, a rural northern region tied to Dandelion’s homeland, who is at the center of the expansion’s plot. It is his family affairs that pull the group back to his ancestral estate, and among the relatives introduced is Lilla, described as an adventurous and spirited woman who quickly catches Geralt’s attention.

A hands-off gameplay demonstration at Gamescom showed Geralt and Lilla investigating a grove overtaken by hostile, thorn-covered creatures. During the mission, Lilla is knocked down by the thorns, and as Geralt moves to help her up, players are presented with several dialogue options, one of which lets him embrace her.

When asked directly whether the demo included a romance option for Lilla (via Eurogamer), Fool’s Theory CEO Jakub Rokosz stopped short of confirming or denying it, explaining that the studio wants players to discover this for themselves.

During a separate Gamescom livestream, CD Projekt Red content strategist Carolin Wendt addressed the topic of romance directly, telling viewers that more romance content is indeed on the way for Geralt and that the character has earned it. Paired with the Lilla demo, this comment further strengthens the theory that the upcoming expansion does indeed offer a new relationship path for the protagonist.

Unfortunately, exact details are still lacking, with both the studios involved keeping the specifics under wraps for now. As for the release date, The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past is scheduled to launch sometime in 2027, arriving after a broader remastered version of the base game slated for next month.
