CD Projekt Red has enlisted the expertise of well-known modder HalkHogan to significantly improve the visual quality of the upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered release. HalkHogan, creator of the popular The Witcher 3 HD Rework Project mod, confirmed their collaboration in a post on Nexus Mods.

The modder stated that HDRP, previously required for their mod, will no longer be necessary for the official remaster. Almost all in-game characters, monsters, animals, vegetation, armors, and equipment for Geralt and Roach, alongside a substantial portion of the environment, have been reworked. HalkHogan emphasized a commitment to high quality, adding a smiley face emoji to the message.
