CD Projekt Red has finally released the highly awaited REDkit modding tool for The Witcher 3 on PC. The timing couldn’t have been better, as the game celebrated its 9th anniversary the other day.

The REDkit, first announced back in November 2023, is a powerful and comprehensive tool that gives players access to many of the same features used by developers to create the game.

It’s a huge step in the right direction, and it essentially means that The Witcher 3 will slowly turn into a modern-day Skyrim, which is still receiving mods.

Why it matters: The addition of REDkit means The Witcher 3 will continue to grow and offer more content in the coming months and years.

The introduction of official mod support is set to breathe new life into The Witcher 3’s modding community. Before this, modders had to make do with unofficial tools and community resources.

Although those efforts had commendable outcomes, the official REDkit offers a stronger and more user-friendly platform, which should lead to more and better quality mods.

With the REDkit, players can create their own unique Witcher experience. Some things players can do with the REDkit include creating new quests, editing existing quests and content, creating new locations, changing the game’s rules, and more.

Thanks to REDkit, players will be able to create new Witcher adventures.

The Witcher 3’s open world and visuals remain the gold standard to this day. However, with the ability to overhaul terrain and environments through REDkit, we can expect mods that push the game’s visual boundaries even further.

The REDkit is still in beta, so there may be some bugs. But it’ll provide a good enough base to create fun mods in the Witcher 3 universe.

CD Projekt Red has stated that it is dedicated to supporting the REDkit and the modding community. It will continue rolling out updates and fixes for the REDkit while also developing new features for it.

With easy-to-use modding tools, the developers have guaranteed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will continue to grow and engage players for years. As modders experiment with the REDkit, fans can anticipate fresh content and adventures to make this iconic game even better.
