The mod editor will provide more opportunities for creators, including the creation of quests. The tools are close to those used by the game’s developers. The release can give «a new lease of life to» Witcher 3, created 9 years ago. REDkit will also allow editing the content of the game itself or integrating new elements into it.
However, support for the mod editor and the mods themselves remains a PC exclusive. Unlike Bethesda, CD Projekt RED has no plans to promote them on consoles. It’s also worth mentioning that on May 17, CDPR will stop supporting «The Witcher 3» on Windows 7 and 8.1 — the game will continue to work, but will no longer receive official patches. Company announced the fashion editor in the fall 2023.
