CD Projekt Red is working on mod tools for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, its immensely popular 2016 role-playing game. The studio announced the mod editor on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday. “It will allow you to create your own experiences in the game by making something completely new or editing existing quests and content,” CD Projekt Red posted.
The Witcher 3’s new mod tools will be released for free in 2024, but for PC users only. It’s an unusual move to put out a mod editor for a game that’s eight years old, but it’s clear CD Projekt is looking to fortify The Witcher 3’s already impressive legacy by continuing to extend the lifespan of the game. Bethesda Game Studios’ The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is the blueprint for a game’s long-lasting success and investment in the modding community; Skyrim’s Nexus Mods page has more than 60,000 entries to The Witcher 3’s 6,000.
CD Projekt Red narrative director Phillip Weber posted on X that the mod editor is “an 8 year old dream we could never fully realize” — until now.

The Witcher 3’s modding community is by no means small, having created loads of mods that make quality-of-life improvements to the game. There are plenty of downloads to upgrade visuals, let Geralt carry an unlimited amount of goods, or eliminate fall damage, but CD Projekt Red’s official mod tools will allow players to create more extensive content instead of just modding things that are already in the game. This gives modders the potential to create new questlines and other playable content for The Witcher 3.
CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 mod tools, which were released in 2021 and continued to be updated, have no doubt helped that mod community grow, and likely helped shape the future of The Witcher 3’s mod support. Updates on The Witcher 3’s mod tools are expected in the new year, as CD Projekt Red continues work on both a fourth Witcher game and a remake of the original 2007 Witcher.

Just recently, we got two new surprise additions in the ever-growing Game Pass catalog with the addition of Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2, but there’s plenty more for subscribers to look forward to in the next couple of weeks, as per prominent leaker billbil-kun.
Though Microsoft generally makes it a point to announce new additions to Game Pass’ ever-expanding library with as much fanfare as it can muster, the company seems to have added to solid titles to the catalog in rather understated fashion.
A new skin from the movie The Batman has been officially confirmed for Arkham Knight, a month after it was accidentally added to the PC version of the game.
Bethesda's heaping plateful of space-spaghetti Starfield presently rejoices in the status of a Mixed Steam user review rating, with over 80,000 such reviews posted to date. Bethesda High Command are clearly displeased with this, and several unnamed but platform-verified developers have begun replying to and rebutting individual Steam reviewers, giving apparent priority to complaints about the game's loading breaks during fast travel and when moving between maps.
One of the key selling points of farm sims is the satisfaction of seeing things grow. That might literally be your crops growing, but it might also be the size or layout of your farm or the web of processing and agricultural systems you've connected. This stuff is just plain engrossing to set up and marvelous to admire.
Andrzej Sapkowski is quite the renaissance man. He studied economics in college, and knows 20 languages. However, the world primarily knows him as the author behind The Witcher book series, a Polish 1990s low fantasy series that itself became famous thanks to the video game franchise based on it, and after that, the two television series.
In 2022, Elden Ring won Game of the Year, but the acceptance speech was hijacked at the last minute by a stage invader who 'nominated' his "Orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton". Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of Geoff Keighley's events being interrupted. Earlier this year, during Gamescom Opening Night Live, a member of the stage ran up to Keighley and started yelling about Clinton wanting GTA 6.

Old School RuneScape is knee-deep in its latest game-warping League event, Trailblazer Reloaded, and this particular limited-time mode has sparked a fierce feud between players that's quietly become one of the most interesting races in MMOs right now.
