The free REDkit mod creation editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now available to all owners of the game on PC.

We're excited to see what mod authors will be able to do with the REDKit as it opens up a whole new world of modding for the game.Are you a Witcher 3 player?

It will soon be possible to make a wide array of new mods in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, from alternate clothes and hairstyles to brand-new characters, environments, quests, and more. We're excited about what mod authors will be able to do with the REDKit and can't wait to see what they upload over the coming weeks and months.

Mod authors can tag their mods as “Made with REDkit” to help you find them all in one place.

        this is exciting. CDPR making good on promises after 12 years goes a long way to pull them out of the swamp that is their long term rep at this point, they did bad things and they're making good on their pledge to redemption. I hope it doesn't suck though lol.

              Will take a lot more than making good on a decade-old promise to pull CDPR out of the swamp. The stuff that studio pulled with Cyberpunk was nothing short of corrupt.

                  Hey, they got Keanu Reeves back for Cyberpunk DLC. They are at least committed to trying to get Cyberpunk to at least neutral... or am I missing something? 'Nothing short of corrupt'?

                    I'm not sure how to feel about the "Publish to Nexus" button. It strikes me as anticompetitive.

                          Absolutely. Had it been a conventional market with much more people involved rather than a modding website, this would 100% be considered as a vertical competition violation.

                              It's only possible because the nexus makes itself competetive with such features.

                                      True, especially with how greedy Nexus has become. The increased subscription cost and removal of one-off payments has left a sour taste in my mouth

                                          It also supports publishing to the Steam Workshop. It's perfectly reasonable imo for them to add special support for publishing to the most popular mod repositories.

                                                        if so when can we expect them to be released

                                                            Is it possible to mod music/sounds files with this tool?

I guess for someone how knows how to use redkit this might be a helpfull page. But I was a bit overwelmed by the amount of information on this page. And this guide seems to be mainly about wwise which seems to not really have changed from before the next gen update. My main concern is redkit itself tbh.

                                                                    • wisteras75

Combat felt aweful to me and remember how much i hated it. Idk much about modding and its possibilities. But if there's a chance gameplay gets an overhaul, so that it feels cool and natural, then omg, i would love it!

I'm hoping that creative modders will use REDkit to create some exciting alternatives to the vanilla combat gameplsy.

An overhaul of 3's would be great, not to mention better alchemy. Get an ingredient for a potion once, always create said potion (if I remember correctly). That's just wrong. Maybe remove Witcher Sense altogether so there's far less hand-holding.
