CD Projekt RED Unveils Official Modding Tool for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
This week, CD Projekt RED announced the development of an official modding tool for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This editor will empower users to create a myriad of content, ranging from new quests to innovative visual effects, while also providing the flexibility to make alterations to existing in-game content.
“The tool will grant you the ability to craft new gaming experiences, whether it be developing entirely new content or editing existing quests. We are planning a free release for 2024,” disclosed the company in a Twitter announcement.
Anticipated Features and Exclusivity
Although specific details about the functionalities of this tool for The Witcher 3 have not been provided yet, CD Projekt RED has committed to sharing detailed information starting from the next year. This editor will complement the modding options that the community has been creating since 2015.
In a subsequent statement, The Witcher’s official Twitter account confirmed that the new tool will not be available for consoles. Mod creation and projects will remain exclusive to PC.
The announcement follows the recent game update that enhanced graphics and introduced Ray Tracing support for next-generation consoles and PCs. Despite performance issues, CD Projekt RED has addressed the most critical ones through updates.
