CD Projekt Red and Blizzard Entertainment Announce Partnership, Bringing The Witcher 3 to Battle.net

The two studios are joining forces to offer The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Blizzard’s platform, alongside a new expansion and a themed cosmetic for Diablo IV.

Partnership and Platform Launch

CD Projekt Red has announced a new collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment, beginning with the release of *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* on Battle.net. The game will arrive on the platform on September 29, featuring enhanced visuals, gameplay improvements, and both major expansions: *Hearts of Stone* and *Blood and Wine*. Pre-purchases are already open.

The partnership unites two studios known for their commitment to immersive RPGs and detailed fantasy worlds. The move marks the first time a Witcher title has appeared on Blizzard’s digital storefront.

New Expansion: Songs of the Past

Alongside the base game, CD Projekt Red is releasing *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Songs of the Past*, a brand-new expansion. It introduces the region of Letten, which players can explore with the same visual and performance upgrades offered by the Remastered edition. The story involves a hidden menace beneath the idyllic landscape, forcing Geralt to confront unfamiliar enemies. The expansion’s narrative revolves around choices and consequences, with the fate of the land and one of Geralt’s closest friendships hanging in the balance.

Diablo IV Crossover Content

To celebrate the arrival of The Witcher on Battle.net, players who pre-purchase or buy *Songs of the Past* after launch will receive a Geralt-themed skin in *Diablo IV*. The developers stated they aimed to create something meaningful for fans of both franchises. Further details about the crossover are expected to be revealed at BlizzCon in September.

About The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Originally released to widespread acclaim, *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* casts players as Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter known as a witcher. The story follows his most personal contract: finding his adopted daughter, Ciri, before the otherworldly Wild Hunt can capture her and harness her abilities. The game’s open world spans the war-ravaged Northern Kingdoms, where Geralt uses a combination of steel and silver swords, combat magic, witcher senses, alchemical potions, and oils to fight monsters, break curses, and uncover ancient secrets. Player choices throughout the journey carry lasting consequences.
