In an announcement on Nexus Mods, HalkHogan says, “I am cooperating with CDPR on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered and my work will be officially available in the game on September 29th (on PC and consoles).”
This means that players will no longer need to install the HD Reworked Project once the remaster becomes available.
“Almost all in-game characters, monsters, animals, vegetation, armors, and equipment for Geralt & Roach, and a large part of the environment have been reworked,” explains HalkHogan.
This also isn’t the first time CD Projekt RED has teamed up with HalkHogan. The HD Reworked Project was one of the community mods brought into The Witcher 3’s next-gen update.
A huge win for the modding community, you can see HalkHogan’s work in action when The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered rolls out as a free upgrade on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 29, 2026.
