CD Projekt Red Enlisted Modder to Help Make The Witcher 3 Look Better Than Ever in New Remaster
CD Projekt Red enlisted the help of a modder to help make the newly revealed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered look better than ever.
CD Projekt Red has enlisted the help of a renowned modder, HalkHogan, to enhance the visual quality of their upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered. HalkHogan, who is known for their popular The Witcher 3 HD Rework Project (HDRP) mod, shared the news on the Nexus Mods page. This mod has garnered over 320,000 unique downloads and 1.6 million views.
HalkHogan confirmed their involvement in the official remaster release, stating that they will no longer require the use of the HDRP mod. Instead, players are encouraged to explore the new features offered in The Witcher 3 Remastered, which will be available on September 29, 2026. The modder confirmed that almost all in-game elements, such as characters, monsters, animals, vegetation, armors, equipment, and the environment, have been reworked for the game.
The Witcher 3 Remastered is set to refresh the classic 2015 RPG for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Alongside the remastered game, CD Projekt Red also revealed a surprise expansion titled Songs of the Past, which follows in the tradition of critically-acclaimed DLCs like Blood & Wine.
