Songs of the Past, the upcoming expansion for The Witcher 3, centers on Roach, Geralt's ever-present steed, in a new region called Letten. According to Xbox Wire, developer Fool's Theory, co-developing alongside CD Projekt Red, crafted an experience that delivers "live nostalgia" by reintroducing the horse that has traveled with the witcher throughout the entire series.
The showcased material emphasizes the relationship between Geralt and Roach as its emotional core, framing their dynamic as a friendship story. PCGamesN describes Songs of the Past as a final outing for Geralt as the protagonist of CD Projekt Red's fantasy RPGs, focusing on the bromance between the witcher and his closest companion.
The expansion marks Geralt's farewell as the main character of the franchise, as The Witcher 4 will be led by Ciri. This announcement follows months of fan backlash over the shift in protagonists in the upcoming installment.
