  "summary": "The Witcher 3 Remastered has been released, bringing various tweaks to the decade-old RPG. However, this remaster has caused issues with existing mods, including the WAR Project, a mod that aims to restore a plague-themed questline that was abandoned by CD Projekt Red before the game's release. According to Rock Paper Shotgun, the modders behind the WAR Project have stated that the remaster has temporarily hindered their work, but they have promised to include something extra in an upcoming update that will make their mod compatible with the remastered version.\n\nThe remastered version of The Witcher 3 has introduced new features, such as the ability to transmog armor and swords, allowing players to swap their skins at will. This feature is available at specific master smiths, Yoana at Crow's Perch and Éibhear Hattori in Novigrad, after completing their respective quests.\n\nThe WAR Project modders have assured that their work will be updated to work with The Witcher 3 Remastered, but no further details have been provided.",
