Tonight’s big Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 showcase provided us with a neat glimpse of many, many exciting new games underway – and, perhaps best of all, The Witcher 3’s own big Songs of the Past DLC.
Yep, we actually have finally seen Geralt front and center in the DLC, and I couldn’t be more excited after watching CD Projekt Red’s new teaser trailer myself. It contains a first look at the protagonist wielding silver chains – a weapon he hasn’t used since the opening of the original 2007 Witcher RPG, nearly two decades ago now.
It’s kind of a huge deal, to say the least, seeing as we’ve only witnessed Geralt with a silver chain in that cinematic and in The Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski, where he used one against Adda when she was reborn as a Striga.
The DLC isn’t the only exciting news we got at Gamescom 2026 about The Witcher 3, however. We also got to see The Witcher 3 Remastered (yes, you read that right) in action, with all of its improved visuals, combat tweaks, reworked skill trees, and much more. It’s never been a better time to be a Witcher stan, basically.
All of this and the fact that The Witcher 4 is still underway, too.
This story is still developing.
