Although a release date has yet to be revealed, it's scheduled to arrive in 2024, but ahead of time, Steam users can now download the playtest version of REDkit today for free (via Eurogamer).
If you head over to The Witcher 3 REDkit official Steam page, you can «Request Access» and you'll be notified via email when the developer is ready for more participants. If you gain access, the tool will appear in your Steam library, ready for download and users must also have The Witcher 3 installed for the editor to work.
With REDkit, users can customize and expand The Witcher 3 which offers «advanced features and unparalleled flexibility, enabling you to unleash your creativity by crafting new quests, characters, animations, and more.»
«Unleash your creative spirit to bring your own unique Witcher experience to life and share it with the world,» the description reads. «Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, The Witcher 3 REDkit offers exciting opportunities for creation — the only limit is your imagination.»
The developer calls the modding tool «a love letter to our community» and since it's currently in beta, players can encounter some issues.

Excitement has been slowly building for Manor Lords, a unique Middle-Ages-set combination of city building and real-time-strategy, for some time now, and now it seems it’s the latest big indie success.
