Fool's Theory explains where The Witcher 3's expansion region Letten actually is, and it's close to the setting of The Witcher 4

Summary

During last night's Opening Night Live, CD Projekt Red officially unveiled a brand-new The Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, confirming that the new playable region is Letten, the homeland of Geralt's closest friend, the bard Dandelion. What remained unclear was exactly where Letten sits on the map. Developer Fool's Theory has now clarified that Letten is located in the northeastern part of the continent, bordering Kaedwen, and lies close to the setting of the upcoming The Witcher 4. This connection has not only excited players about the expansion's map design but also fueled speculation about the lore and geography of the Witcher universe. Indeed, the link between Letten and The Witcher 4 is one of the highlights of this announcement, stirring up anticipation for the next mainline game.

CD Projekt Red's decision to release such a substantial expansion years after the original game's launch shows its commitment to supporting classic titles and lays groundwork for The Witcher 4.
