With the bulk of CD Projekt RED’s work on Cyberpunk 2077 having wrapped up (upcoming updates notwithstanding), The Witcher 4 is the next game that the developer will be focusing on, with nearly half the studio now working on the next instalment in the fantasy RPG series. And according to game director Sebastian Kalemba, the game will serve as “an excellent entry point” for newcomers.
The Witcher 3 Is Receiving A Surprising Update In 2024
15.11.2023 - 15:57 / gameranx.com
CD Projekt Red is known for bringing out some thrilling and in-depth RPG experiences. They have released The Witcher franchise to massive fanfare, and after a very rough stumble out of the gate, Cyberpunk 2077 has turned itself around. We know several projects are in the works at CD Projekt Red right now. However, before they finally closed the book on some of their past projects, the development team gave a surprising update in 2024. Specifically, the update will land on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Here’s what the development team revealed earlier today.
Taking to X, the developers from CD Projekt Red unveiled that a mod editor is finally coming to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. After initially launching in 2015, the game will soon flourish with new mods. The X post noted that those interested can edit quests and content within the game or make something brand new.
That should open the door for thrilling experiences and content releases that will keep players chugging along on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. After all, we know that more content is slated for The Witcher franchise, so this might be an excellent way to keep fans interested in the franchise while they continue working on the next project.
We're thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt! ⚔️
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.… pic.twitter.com/e2kvXRqegZ
It’s also worth noting that the developers are making a big transition. We know that they are moving away from their in-house game engine. Instead, they will be moving over to the Unreal Engine. That’s one of the reasons we’re not seeing more content and expansion launches for Cyberpunk 2077, as Phantom Liberty marked their last big release under their current game engine. Likewise, this might be one of the last big drops into the marketplace before the developers move away from their in-house engine.
We’re not given a specific date as to when the new mod editor will be released for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Instead, the developers only note that they plan to release it for free sometime in 2024. Of course, mods are already present for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. But with the new mod editor release, there should be a far more manageable approach to making content for fans to enjoy.
We’ll just need to wait and see when the editor will drop and then start seeing what modding communities are able to come up with before The Witcher receives its next mainline installment. It’s always exciting to see developers hand over the keys for communities to continue to support their favorite games. So even with The Witcher 3:

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.
