MaxGG News brings you the latest details on the newly released issue of PC Gamer magazine, which highlights a world-exclusive cover story on CD Projekt Red's upcoming expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled Songs of the Past. The magazine features elite-level access to CD Projekt Red's Warsaw development headquarters, giving readers a comprehensive inside look at the brand-new adventure for Geralt of Rivia. Written by Joshua Wolens, the feature includes previously unseen images and interviews with key studio developers. According to game director Jakub Rokosz, the new expansion would not have been possible without the concurrent work on The Witcher 3 Remastered, which brings improved combat and heavily reworked visuals to the 2015 role-playing game.

Alongside the main cover story, the new magazine issue contains several other hardware and software highlights. The publication features a group test of six high-end gaming laptops evaluated by the hardware team. In the review section, Morgan Park handles the Unreal Engine 5 remake, Halo: Campaign Evolved, while previews cover sci-fi action-adventure game Exodus, Vice Undercover, Gears of War: E-Day, Swords of Legends, White Knuckle, There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, and Beyond These Stars. Additionally, the issue celebrates the strategic genre with a curated selection of 14 top real-time strategy titles recommended for modern play.
