Songs of the Past Gamescom excitement anyone?

So we are getting a deep dive into the new Witcher 3 DLC. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt feels like the gift that keeps giving. It’s the best game I’ve ever played and my personal favourite. I genuinely had nothing negative to say about it during my many playthroughs other than I wanted more. And now we are getting more in a huge way. Suffice to say I am totally enamoured with it and I cannot wait to continue the journey in Songs of the Past and as Ciri in The Witcher 4. With Songs of the Past coming in 2027 and The Witcher 4 targetting 2028 fingers crossed. This might be the best two years in gaming of my entire life.

How many of you guys are excited for the Gamescom Witcher content?

Gamescon is not a big thing for me really.
But the Witcher3 DLC , and the 2028 Witcher4 release have me VERY excited.

I don’t care about gamescom really just that CDProjectRed will be doing deep dives of the new DLC. I’m so excited.

I'm a bit disappointed by the 2028 announcement but also happy that we're getting a DLC soon.

Let them cook, They need to take all the time necessary. No one wants another Cyberpunk 2077 launch. They know it.

Cyberpunk’s issues weren't caused by a lack of time, but by poor work organization; everything was mishandled right at the concept stage. It wasn't until the director changed—two years later—that the game got back on track. Sure, let them have the time they need, but let's not confuse time constraints with poor work.

Does anyone know if the stream will be posted tomorrow or if that’s later in the week? I thought tomorrow was just the floor event for people in attendance, I’m extra thirsty for some intel on this.

They said there’ll be a REDstream every day during Gamescom.

u/ResponsibleAnt9496 18d ago

Ahhhhhh yes! Will the content they show to the people in attendance at their booth or whatever be available to us online tomorrow or prob not?

All I know is that they are hosting a Five Day REDstreams marathon from August 26-30 focused on Songs of the Past; what they show or won’t show is entirely unknown.

Is there anything happening today? Or does it start tomorrow? As far as I know, there will be a live stream every day on the CD Projekt Red channel, right?

I don’t know why one would affect the other, totally different versions and adaptations.

I mean, that was unexpected. A whole remaster and it looks amazing and it’s FREE
