‘The Witcher 3’ Remaster Officially Confirmed to Use Fan-Made HD Mods
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered will officially incorporate work from HalkHogan’s popular fan-made HD Reworked Project. The collaboration matters because it brings a long-standing community visual overhaul into the game itself, meaning players should no longer need to install and maintain the mod separately.
The remaster launches on 29 September as a free upgrade for existing owners on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X. HalkHogan’s mod has updated thousands of textures, models, materials and shaders, and has received more than 326,000 unique downloads and 1.6 million Nexus Mods views; CD Projekt Red also announced a new Geralt-led expansion, Songs of the Past, for 2027.
In short
- Fan-made HD mod will be included in The Witcher 3 remaster.
- The remaster launches free for existing owners on 29 September.
- A new Geralt expansion is planned for 2027.
Explained simply
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a role-playing game by Polish studio CD Projekt Red, set in a fantasy world where players control Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter. Since its release, fans have made modifications, or “mods”, that change parts of the game, including its graphics.
HalkHogan’s HD Reworked Project is a widely used fan mod that improves the appearance of objects and scenery by replacing or updating their visual assets. Bringing it into an official release connects the game’s development with work made by its player community.
