Earlier this year, CD Projekt Red released REDkit, the official modding tool for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. While that opened up a world of possibilities for PC players, the core game has just received an incredible visual upgrade that may even surpass the title’s 2022 next-gen update.
A modder who goes by Halk Hogan released The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project: Next Gen Edition, which claims to raise “the game’s visuals to the highest level yet and enhance it to a truly next-gen masterpiece.” To back up those remarks, Halk Hogan has posted a 15-minute side-by-side comparison on YouTube that shows off the improvements.
The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project: Next Gen Edition is now available on NexusMods. According to the description, “Everything is carefully made with attention to every detail. All this is aimed at making the game more detailed, realistic, consistent and as faithful as possible reflecting the atmosphere of the dirty world of the Witcher.”
As part of an earnings report earlier this week, CD Projekt Red revealed that The Witcher 4 is officially in production, and the announcement came alongside an enigmatic teaser image. That game is probably still several years away from reaching players. In the meantime, Liam Hemsworth will be taking over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill in The Witcher Season 4 on Netflix. That will debut in 2025, but the franchise’s next anime project, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, will arrive sooner on February 11, 2025.
