Overview
- HalkHogan, creator of the widely used HD Reworked Project, confirmed on Thursday that they are cooperating with CD Projekt Red and that their work will be included in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered.
- The integrated changes cover nearly all characters, monsters, animals, vegetation, armor and equipment for Geralt and Roach plus large sections of environments, delivering a broad visual overhaul.
- Because the modder’s assets are being folded into the official release, the HD Reworked Project will no longer be required as a separate install when the remaster launches on September 29 for PC and consoles.
- The move continues CD Projekt Red’s recent strategy of offering free upgrades to existing owners and incorporating community work while preparing paid expansions such as Songs of the Past in 2027.
- The HD Reworked Project is one of The Witcher 3’s most downloaded mods, and its formal inclusion both saves players from manual mod maintenance and serves as a high‑visibility step toward restoring player trust.
