The Witcher 3’s Hidden Depths: Modders Unearth Cut Content

Fans discover and restore significant deleted scenes from the game's finale, revealing complex political intrigue and character development

In a surprising turn of events, modders have uncovered and restored substantial cut content from the critically acclaimed role-playing game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This discovery, made possible by CD Projekt’s recently released modding tool REDkit, has revealed an extended ending sequence that adds depth to the game’s political landscape and character relationships.

The restored content, showcased by YouTuber xLetalis and implemented by modder glassfish777, takes place between protagonist Geralt’s climactic battle with Eredin and the game’s tower finale. Set in a Nilfgaardian camp, these scenes offer players additional dialogue options, character interactions, and crucial plot developments that were ultimately left on the cutting room floor.

One of the most significant revelations in this restored content is a controversial scene involving Yennefer of Vengerberg, one of Geralt’s potential romantic interests. In a surprising twist, Yennefer is shown betraying the Lodge of Sorceresses to Emperor Emhyr var Emreis of Nilfgaard, ostensibly to protect Ciri, Geralt’s ward. This decision adds a layer of complexity to Yennefer’s character and her relationships with both Geralt and the wider political landscape of the game world.

The cut content also expands on the aftermath of the final battle, including a poignant funeral scene for Crach an Craite, a prominent character whose fate was left largely unaddressed in the released version of the game. Additionally, players can engage in conversations with various background characters, including veterans of Cintra, adding richness to the game’s lore and world-building.

These discoveries have sparked debate among fans about the reasons behind CD Projekt’s decision to remove this content. Some speculate that pacing concerns may have played a role, as the cut scenes occur between two intense sequences in the game’s finale. Others wonder if the complex political machinations and character development were deemed too intricate for the game’s conclusion.

The unearthing of this content was made possible by REDkit, an official modding tool released by CD Projekt in May 2024. Originally announced in November 2023, REDkit was intended to allow fans to create their own experiences within the game world. However, its capabilities have extended beyond creation to restoration, opening up new possibilities for fans to explore and potentially revive other cut content.

As The Witcher franchise continues to evolve, with multiple new projects on the horizon including a remake of the original game and a new mainline entry codenamed Polaris, these discoveries offer fans a glimpse into the development process and the difficult decisions that shape a game’s final form.

While CD Projekt has yet to comment on these specific discoveries, the modding community’s efforts have undoubtedly added a new chapter to The Witcher 3’s legacy, demonstrating the enduring passion of its fanbase and the hidden depths still waiting to be explored within this beloved game.
