The Witcher 3’s best graphics mod receives another 12.0 Preview

Halk Hogan’s The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project (HDRP) is easily one of the best graphics mods available for the game. The mod offers PC gamers reworked textures and models, which help to make the game suitable for high-resolution gameplay, while also fixing many of the game’s sub-par models and meshes. 

While the Wither 3 is a great looking game on PC, it was designed in the 1080p era. Most gamers didn’t use 1440p or 4K screens, and game textures were not made with such sharp screens, in mind. The Witcher 3’s HDRP addresses this issue by replacing the game’s original artwork with 4K ready versions, making the game look better without changing the game’s core aesthetic. Perhaps the best thing about HDRP is that it looks almost stock, a factor which makes the game look like it received an HD remaster, rather than a fan-made texture pack. 

Even users of 1080p screens can enjoy these texture changes, though many of the mod’s model changes will be easier to notice. Some edges will become more rounded with the introduction of more polygons, and other items will become more realistic in appearance. These mesh changes make The Witcher 3’s world more believable, which is saying something given the quality of the game at stock.

Now, version 12.0 “Ultimate” of The Witcher 3’s HD Reworked Project is in the works, offering gamers reworked textures across the game as well as improved assets and upgraded clothing and armour sets for both Geralt and The Witcher 3’s NPCs. This will help improve the look of Geralt and NPCs across the game, especially during cutscenes and dialogue. 

Right now, Halk Hogan hasn’t set a release date for version 12 of The Witcher 3 Enhanced Project, but a preview of his work can be viewed below. Watch this video in fullscreen mode to see the full impact of this mod’s updated textures. Version 11.0 of Halk Hogan’s The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project is currently available to download on Nexus Mods. A release date for The Witcher 3 HDRP 12 is due to be announced in the coming weeks.
