The Witcher 3 is already very pretty, but that hasn't stopped one modder from spending nearly four years giving the game a fresh lick of paint. The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project received its latest major update last night, making Geralt's adventures across the continent more beautiful than ever.
According to modder HalkHoganPL, the aim of the mod is "to improve the graphics by reworking models and textures," all while preserving both CDPR's original art style and the game's overall performance. The mod was first uploaded in November 2015, but yesterday, HalkHogan shipped update 10.0.
That new update reworked 1,000 new textures, and improved on 250 character models, and you can take a closer look at some of those changes in the video further down this article. All of the comparisons are impressive, but most striking is the increased quality of the Redanian guard's armor, and I'm excited to see some of the game's central characters get a similar treatment.
