This is all on the condition that this expansion is as good as hearts of stone and blood and wine
I was way late and got everything quite discounted - having said that, Hearts of Stone had a great story, but in no way justified full price. Blood and Wine would have been a good value even at full price.

Hearts of stone was 9.99 when it launched and Blood and Wine was 19.99.
I think Hearts of stone at 9.99 is fair and fine especially with the amount of free dlc they put into the game throughout its life cycle.
It definitely evens out even if you don’t agree with that because blood and wine brought far more value than the 20$ it originally cost. It is essentially an entire 20-40 hour video game in its own right.

Sorry - I didn't have that context and popped off without it. I stand corrected. With that context, both should rightly be considered great values even at launch price.

No. I figured $20.

mean, for the record, the Ciri sequences were my least favorite part of 3. If Witcher 4 is truly going to be all Ciri, all the time, I will probably pass. I will likely play this expansion, though.
Same here on Ciri sequences, but I think that was mostly because it threw me off switching play styles for a seemingly short time. Felt kinda useless. I feel the same way when playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and they do that with Godwin.
Playing with just Ciri from start to finish won't bother me, as long as they pull off the execution with explaining how she becomes a Witcher and I assume loses most of her powers.

I wonder what songs of the past is a reference to.
On its face it almost gives the opposite implication to what we all assume this to be, a narrative bridge into Witcher 4.
Maybe it’s a reference to the area of the continent it will take place on, some place from Geralt or Ciris past.
Witcher 4 takes place in Kovir; somewhere Geralt never goes to in the books or the games.
If they make a new map it could be a reference to Zerekania, which does have ties to Ciris past in the books and it’s also where the school of the manticore is said to be, which is the only Witcher school we really know nothing about. It’s possible that’s where Ciri does whatever she does to end up the way she is in Witcher 4 there.
The alternative look option free dlc for Ciri also has her wearing what’s called “the latest fashion from zerrikania”

They compared it to Blood and Wine in the live stream that just ended a bit ago.
It’s also increasing the file size of the game by about 20 GB which is pretty crazy.
Pretty sure it’ll be a new region
Teased more Gwent! Hope there’s a new faction

forgot how much I loved GWENT
I only started playing GWENT because I wanted the platinum trophy. Normally I don't like the mini games within a video game world. That held true with GWENT at first. I hated it because my deck at the beginning sucked and I didn't really understand how to play. Once I got better cards and learned the game I absolutely loved it.
I still haven't played Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine. I have the expansion pass with both so I'll load it up and play those before the new one comes out. I've been looking for something to play over the last few days anyway.

Just got into Witcher 3 a few months ago. Amazing game. Blood and wine is a great expansion. Go ahead and take my money

Blood and Wine leans really hard into Gwent, so that alone is worth it if you're looking for more Gwent to play. But both expansions are pretty amazing.

Blood and Wine was one of the best if not the best expansion for any game ever so that’s a pretty strong comparison.

It was just announced songs of the past is going to be shown off to the world for the first time at Gamescom on August 25th.
They’re slotted for the opening night and insinuated that it will be what opens the show.
They have drawn comparisons to blood and wine in this announcement again, making it the third time. This is imo their way of setting expectations for the size and scope of the expansion
We will probably know what the new region will br after this showcase. I’ve speculated that it could be Zerrikania, but I also think it could actually take us back to Rivia and that general region which would make sense with the current map of the world, as it is just to the west of Velen in the world of the Witcher, so they could make a new map of there especially since they already explored the region in the game throne breaker which is actually very good
