The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Getting Official Mod Editor From CD Projekt
15.11.2023 - 13:57 / ign.com / Ryan Dinsdale
CD Projekt is releasing an official mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2024, meaning fans will soon be able to create their own custom content based on the beloved role-playing game's pre-existing assets.
The Witcher X/Twitter account revealed the news, below, saying it is "thrilled" to reveal CD Projekt is working on the mod editor, which will be released for free sometime next year.
"We're thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," the post said. "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 mod editor will likely breathe further life into The Witcher 3, which received a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X update in December 2022 but otherwise won't be receiving any new official content as CD Projekt focuses on its wealth of other incoming projects.
CD Projekt confirmed in a follow up post on X/Twitter that the mod editor will only be coming to PC, despite fellow-RPG maker Bethesda bringing mod support to console through the likes of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, but as the developer continues to support The Witcher 3 nine years after its release, it might consider console support at some point in the future.
The new wave of mods will perhaps tide fans over until the highly anticipated next Witcher game launches, though this won't be until 2025 at the absolute earliest. There are two other games in the franchise on the horizon too, a remake of the original Witcher and a multiplayer spin-off, though both are likely still years away.
In our 9/10 review of the base game, IGN said: "Massive in size, and meticulously detailed, The Witcher 3 ends Geralt's story on a high note."

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.
