The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Cut Content Revealed by Modders

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a beloved RPG game, recently received official modding tools known as REDKit. These tools have allowed modders to delve deep into the game and uncover previously cut content. ‘Tuber xLetalis and modder glassfish recently showcased around 20 minutes of cut content from the game’s ending, thanks to their efforts and the capabilities of REDKit.

The cut scenes revealed in the video were originally meant to take place between Geralt’s showdown with Eredin and the game’s finale at the tower. Set in a Niflgaardian camp, these scenes would have involved conversations with characters like Yennefer and Emperor Charles Dance. The optional chats and exploration elements added depth to the game’s narrative. One striking scene depicted Yennefer betraying the Lodge of Sorceress to the Nilfgaardians in an attempt to aid Ciri, while ensuring Triss’s escape.

Among the discarded scenes, there were additional interactions with characters like Crach an Craite. These scenes offer a glimpse into what could have been and add layers to the game’s storyline. While it’s been a while since playing The Witcher 3, the cut content brings back memories of the intricate politicking seen in The Witcher 2’s closing moments.

Despite The Witcher 3’s acclaim, there were several unresolved plot threads from the previous game that left fans wanting more. Characters like Iorveth and Saskia, along with various details from the final act, were left hanging. The addition of modding tools like REDKit has provided an opportunity for modders to address some of these unresolved storylines and bring closure to fans.

The discovery of cut content and the ability to reimplement it into the game showcases the power of modding tools. The creativity and dedication of modders continue to breathe new life into games long after their release. Who knows what other hidden gems are waiting to be unearthed by the modding community? The possibilities are endless, and with tools like REDKit, the potential for adding new content to games is limitless.
