Bye bye, RedKit
ModKitforThe Witcher 3was released last week, which allows more experienced people to create mods for the game by giving them access to game resources. It’s a fairly limited system compared toREDKitthat was released later on inThe Witcher 2’s life, plus the barrier to entry is a bit higher.
Unfortunately, it’s all we’re going to be getting forThe Witcher 3.In a tweet made by the community lead of CD Projekt Red, it’s confirmedREDKitwon’t be coming forThe Witcher 3, andModKitis all we’ll be getting.
@MeerMusikThis is the mod support for the Wild Hunt. At this moment we are not planning to release anything else.

This contradicts anIGN interview in January 2014with CD Projekt CEO Marcin Iwinksi:
… we are looking to release the REDKit sometime after the game launches for the modding community.
ModKitis good, don’t get me wrong. Any mod tools are better than nothing, and most big releases don’t even bother with them. It’s just nowhere near as robust asREDKitwhich allowed you to make your own quests and adventures. Just being able to give Geralt a tracksuit is a little bit of a step down.
