The Witcher 3 is getting a massive free update with a huge new mode

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is about to get a lot bigger thanks to the inclusion of a new mode that will massively open up the game.

CD Projekt RED has announced that The Witcher 3 is getting a substantial update in 2024 that fans everywhere have been begging for. As someone who has spent hundreds of hours on the fantasy RPG across multiple versions, I admit I am terrified for my social life.

Take a look at the latest trailer for The Witcher: Sirens Of The Deep below!

As announced on social media, in 2024 The Witcher 3 is getting an official mod editor. There are, of course, already plenty of mods for the game floating around, but official support from CD Projekt RED should open up a whole new world of possibilities.

"We're thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," CDPR wrote on Twitter. "It will allow you to create your own experiences in the game by making something completely new or editing existing quests and content. We’re planning on releasing it for free in 2024."

CDPR promise to share more details soon, but one thing we do know for certain right now is that this mod support will, tragically, not be coming to consoles. This new mode will be a PC only deal, which stings a little. Still, this remains a hugely exciting prospect that should greatly enhance the life of an already massive game.

I'm already dreaming of new quests, areas to explore, and plenty of Thomas The Tank Engine mods.
