CDPR say they’re in talks with mod authors
CD Projekt Red announced last year that they’ll be releasing a bignext-gen (now-gen) updatetoThe Witcher 3, which PC players will get as a free game update too. We still don’t know when that’ll be arriving just yet, but when it does it may include the work of modders. CDPR have confirmed that they’re in talkes with mod creators whose work may wind up being used in the facy new release. I don’t expect it’ll include the ones that turn Geralt into Henry Cavill though.
“I have some good news, and the reasons why I was quiet and why I don’t have too much to show,” Halk Hogan says in a new post forThe Witcher 3 HD Reworked. “I think the most important news is that I got an official message from CDPR about cooperation. While it’s not certain yet, it’s very likely that HDRP will be included in the official next generation update.”

CDPR confirmed to Kotaku that they’ve been in contact with Witcher 3 mod authors.
“In addition to our own development efforts on the upcoming next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, we are also in talks with creators of various mods for the 2015 release of the game,” they say, adding that, “as of this time, however, we do not have any binding agreements with any such party.”
Aside from the fact that it will be both a free game update for current owners and a standalone release, this is what we know about the next-gen update for The Witcher 3 so far:
I suspect whether this winds up being a positive or negative plan will hinge on how CDPR intend to compensate creators for including their work. They weren’t able to comment on the specifics of that part yet, Kotaku report, likely because their agreements with modders aren’t yet finalized.
Oh, and here’s a look at Halk Hogan’s updated textures, if you’re curious. They’re nice!
