Although the Polish studio CD Projekt RED has always actively supported the creation of user modifications, in the case of the cult RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that’s always been hard with modding. We only got a small MODkit tool through the official way, which allows unpacking game files and using scripts. But over time even the developers themselves began to refer more to user tools, especially a kit called WolvenKitamong other things in connection with the next-gen update that we received at the end of last year.

So for a long time it seemed that The Witcher 3 would not offer us much in the field of modding in the official way. But now everything is different. Developers from CD Projekt RED surprisingly they announced working on an official mod editor that will allow PC gamers to create their own gaming experiences by creating entirely new content or modifying existing quests and game elements.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’re working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt! ⚔️
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.… pic.twitter.com/e2kvXRqegZ

The mod editor is supposed to be a redesigned version of the REDengine 3 engine editor, which was used to develop The Witcher 3, and will be released sometime in 2024. It will of course be available for free and only on PC. For now, the creators are asking for patience and beckoning for next year, when we should learn more information.
In any case, it looks like, at least in this way, REDengine, which CD Projekt RED is formally retiring, could still find some use in the future. The Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, released this year, is the latest project that the proprietary engine of the Polish studio, which was originally born in the development of RPGs The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings from 2011, he used. All upcoming CD Projekt RED games are to be powered by the Unreal 5 engine from Epic Games, while we recently got a hint that the proper control of Unreal 5 is now the main challenge for the creators of the new Witcher trilogy and the direct sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.
