Get ready to unleash your creativity and join the official modding contest for The Witcher 3 REDkit! This May, CDPR released the Witcher 3 REDkit, an end-to-end solution that allows users to create new experiences and modify every aspect of The Witcher 3. Based on revamped versions of the same tools used by the developers nearly a decade ago, this kit is now available for free to anyone who owns The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC. You can claim it on Steam, GOG.com, or the Epic Games Store. For more details, visit the official website of the editor.
The release of REDkit has already inspired a wave of fantastic new mods for The Witcher 3, but there’s still so much more to come. To celebrate the innovative, the amazing, and the downright wacky, CDPR and their partners have put together a set of amazing prizes to win, including:
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, sponsored by NVIDIA
- Gaming headsets, mice and keyboards, sponsored by Razer
- The Witcher team jerseys and playing cards, sponsored by Dyenamik

i mean even creating a good level asset from scratch before a close july 30th deadline is another bummer
Will this contest help? I mean it can't hurt. Hopefully whoever wins this actually gets their prize, I've seen too many companies jerk around the winner though and not actually payout until a social media stink was made. I can kind of smell that coming here too, again, good luck to whoever wins it and I hope you get your prize.
I enjoyed the game and will play it again at some point, but I have no real hope for a modding scene to develop. Even for Skyrim AE, which is easily the most modded game, there's been a decline as the game, even on re-release, is just slowly aging out too much. Mods can only enhance things, but at some point you've just played the base content enough times that even with mods it's time to just move on. Maybe next time they can release the modding tools while the game's community is still active and interest is there, but I don't know that I have confidence in either them or Bethesda anymore.
Good luck to the participants!
I wish more companies would follow their example.
