The Witcher 3's REDkit mod tools launch May 21st, enabling a new era of ambitious overhauls

Someone will stick Hatsune Miku in it, and why not you

After a month or so of testing,The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s offiical mod tools REDkit will launch on May 21st. It’ll make it easier for players to make new quests, items, weapons and so on for the nearly nine-year-old RPG.

REDKit pledges onits Steam pageto give people the power to edit “almost anything in the game.” As well as those I mentioned above, that should also include adding new characters, storylines and even new landscapes to adventure within.

REDkit should allow for much more ambitious projects and total conversions. I’m curious to see whether The Witcher 3’s popularity therefore leads to aSkyrim-style mod bonanza, or whether its age means the potential community for it has already moved on.

Either way, it’s great that CD Projekt Red have gone back and expanded their support at this stage and - hopefully my belovedCyberpunk 2077is next.
