Get ready for another excuse to dive back into The Witcher 3 and revisit the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, now with even more modded possibilities.

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




CDPR have put a lot of work in behind the scenes to make the REDKit launch a possibility and we have worked closely with them to provide support in any way we can. 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.

                    Is anyone working on custom sex mods?

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

                              REDkit can mod music/sounds. You might find this guide useful for looking into how to do so.

                                  Thanks, this is indeed valuable source of information. 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.

                                          I'm experiencing the same error right now. I reported the REDkit addon as being unable to be downloaded, so I'm hoping that they can resolve it sometime soon.In the meantime... most of my mods are dead.

                                              Thanks again"!!

                                                        While i did love the Withcer 3 and happy i played it, awesome story, char depth and just an epic game, i never liked the gameplay. 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've never heard anyone dislike the combat in W3 before but surely there will be mods for it or you could make one yourself - imho though it's already near perfect

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

                                                                                  True. Horrible gameplay and mechanics. Unfortunately true of every Witcher game. 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.

I still haven't modded it, just curious about the news. Loved every second of the game and gonna play through again with no mods! Enjoy!
