Fans have been moddingThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunton PC ever since it launched back in 2015. Later this year, though, developer CD Projekt Red is releasing its own modding tool for the game, but you’re able to test it out for yourself before then.
Signing up for playtest access is incredibly simple; just click the option for it onthe tool’s Steam listing. You aren’t guaranteed to gain access straightaway, though, as CD Projekt Red has noted ina Steam news postthat playtest access will be distributed in batches. So, be sure to keep an eye on your Steam Library for when The Witcher 3 REDkit Playtest is added. Prospective playtesters have also been warned that since they’ll be trying out a beta version of the tool, it’s bound to have issues that haven’t been ironed out yet.
The tool promises to be incredibly comprehensive since it’s based on the very tools the developers used for makingThe Witcher 3. CD Projekt Red has said this should “allow for nearly limitless freedom in modding [The Witcher 3] and, best of all, it’ll be a free download, so there’ll be no reason for modders not to at least try it out. With how creative modders can be, it’ll be interesting to see what they can come up with using an officially supported tool like this.
This isn’t the first time CD Projekt Red has offered official mod support.Cyberpunk 2077has its own free REDMod DLC that can be used to create and install mods for the game. Hopefully, such a tool will also be made for the nextWitchergame as well, and not release nearly 10 years after the game does. Unofficially dubbedThe Witcher 4, the game hasover 400 developers working on itaccording to an earnings call from last month, but there are still no real details on it, not even its actual title.
