Even Superman builds his own PC these days. That’s right, a couple of years back Henry Cavill stripped down to his tank top and took to Instagram to slot together a series of hand-picked components and built himself a glorious gaming PC.
CD Projekt announce free Witcher 3 mod editor for release in 2024
15.11.2023 - 16:55 / rockpapershotgun.com / Henry Cavill
CD Projekt have announced that they're working on a free mod editor for The Witcher 3, allowing you to write entire new quests for grizzly Geralt, or just make him walk around with no trousers on, which he spends every other cutscene doing anyway. There are already many mods for the venerable fantasy RPG, of course - the options range from mods that give you Henry Cavill's face to mods that simulate the effects of long Covid to raise awareness - but the editor should make life easier for the internet's Geralt-whisperers. Better late than never.
"We're thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!" the developers announced in a social media post today. "It will allow you to create your own experiences in the game by making something completely new or editing existing quests and content. We're planning on releasing it for free in 2024." The modding tools will be PC-only, and we'll hear more next year.
CD Projekt talked about adding modding tools to The Witcher 3 way back in 2015, but eventually put the plans on ice. It's something of a sore spot among Witcher fans, I gather. The developers have been keeping an eye on the game's modding community, however: when they released Witcher 3's "next gen" update last year, they published a breakdown of how existing mods would be affected.
As for what this bodes for The Witcher in general: in March last year, CD Projekt announced a multi-year partnership with Epic to make games using the Unreal Engine. The next Witcher and Cyberpunk games will run on Unreal, rather than CD Projekt's own in-house REDengine. While this doesn't necessarily mean that CD Projekt will stop supporting their old REDengine projects, you could read the announcement of a proper mod editor as the start of a process of leaving The Witcher 3 in the hands of the community.
The fan reaction so far seems... positive?

StarEngine Video Shows Off Stunning Visuals for an Open Galaxy Game
Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games showed off the game's underlying StarEngine technology with a new video of 24 and a half minutes. Boldly titled 'The Future of Gaming, ' the flyover video demonstrates the impressive visuals powered by the StarEngine. It all becomes even more remarkable when considering that it renders an open galaxy game that should host over a hundred star systems (when the final game is complete, according to the developer's original goal) in a completely seamless capacity.

The Witcher Creator Notes That The Netflix Series Team Never Listens To His Ideas
When it comes to The Witcher, it’s one of the best examples of having adaptations across multiple forms of media and having those adaptations be good. It started as a book series, then was picked up by CD Projekt Red, who turned it into an award-winning gaming franchise, and then Netflix grabbed it, and they’ve had three seasons of it on their streaming service, with a spinoff or two to boot. So you’d think that franchise fans and those associated with it would be happy with everything happening. However, when it comes to the franchise’s creator, he does have some bitter feelings.

The Witcher Creator Says Netflix "Never Listened" To His Ideas
The Witcher series hasn't been doing too well in recent years, routinely angering fans by straying too far from the source material, putting little effort into CGI and costumes, and replacing Geralt of Rivia actor Henry Cavill with Liam Hemsworth for future seasons. Cavill's departure was the turning point for a lot of fans, who have been rallying against the show ever since. Now, they have a new reason to be angry.
