The Witcher III: Wild Hunt continues thriving as a modding playground, especially since CD Projekt RED launched the REDkit modding suite the previous year. While HalkHogan’s renowned HD Reworked Project NextGen Edition remains essential for visual upgrades, it doesn’t cover every in-game asset.
This inspired creator kwest0rek to craft ‘The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Remastered – NextGen‘, refining 41 untouched models with new high-res textures. Current modifications include:
- Apples (intact, partially eaten, heaped arrangements)
- Bread loaves (traditional and artisanal)
- Cabbages (pristine and decayed)
- Expanded fruit varieties (purple/red grapes, melon)
- Herbalist supplies (sealed/unsealed pouches, herb jars)
- Culinary items (meaty bone remnants, whole-roasted hog, browned poultry)
- Assorted garden vegetables (carrots, garlic cloves, whole and halved onions, potatoes, squash)
- Tableware and decor (steel tankards, carved wooden goblets, mounted wine storage)
- Garlic clusters (bulk and smaller groupings)
- Citrus additions (oranges)
- Potato stockpiles
Comparative screenshots reveal striking visual refinements:
Per mod page discussions, kwest0rek plans to complete food asset updates before revitalizing deceased character and wildlife models in The Witcher III’s Next-Gen version.
In related news, CD Projekt RED hinted that its upcoming Witcher sequel may incorporate elements from Andrzej Sapkowski’s latest novel, *Crossroads of Ravens*, newly translated to English. Netflix’s adaptation returns for its fourth season this October.
