[h3]Are you a modder?[/h3]
You’re about to get your hands on the same set of tools that RED developers used to create The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt almost a decade ago — refurbished and adjusted to the needs of modders! It’s an end-to-end solution that gives you bigger freedom than ever before in customising all elements of the game.

The Witcher 3 REDkit is completely free for all owners of the game on PC! If you own The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt on Steam, simply claim the editor here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2684660/The_Witcher_3_REDkit/

Don’t know where to start? Not to worry! We’ve prepared a dedicated REDkit website where you will find a set of answers to frequently asked questions, a comprehensive documentation, as well as a series of video tutorials (coming soon)!

The Witcher 3 REDkit premiere is right around the corner. On May 21st you’ll be able to download and install the release version of the editor. A day earlier we will disable signups for Playtest.

Don’t worry! You will be able to continue any projects you started on the Playtest version of the editor. In order to help you migrate your progress, the Playtest version of the editor will remain available until May 22nd for everybody who will have already signed up. Your editor settings should load up automatically, but if you’d like to make a backup, they are stored at:

• \steamapps\common\The Witcher 3 REDkit\bin\r4LavaEditor2.ini
  
• \steamapps\common\The Witcher 3 REDkit\bin\r4LavaEditor2.sessions.ini
  

Please keep in mind that while The Witcher 3 REDkit is available for free, it can only be claimed on platforms where you own the game. This means that if you participated in the Playtest, but do not own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Steam, you will need to switch over to the store where you own the game. The editor will work exactly the same regardless of where it’s downloaded from.

Thank you for participating in the Playtest! Thanks to your feedback and reports we’ve been able to bring multiple improvements to The Witcher 3 REDkit!

Mark your calendars and get ready for a special REDstreams episode where we'll dive deep into REDkit—a modding tool that allows you to customize and expand The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with the same powerful tools used by developers who originally created the game. Together with our guests, Bence Hambalko and Moritz Baron from Yigsoft, we will discuss the mod creation process with REDkit, its possibilities, and more!

📅 Date: Tuesday, May 21st
🕒 Time: 5 PM CEST
