Modder ‘Erxv’ has informed us about this new mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As its title suggests, this mod recreates the intro from the first The Witcher game in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It looks pretty cool and PC gamers can go ahead, download, and play this recreation right now.
As Erxv noted, all scenes were made entirely by using the w2scene encoder and the Storyboard UI. Naturally, there was some extra editing by hand for every single scene. Additionally, some scenes required mod editor editing.
This mod is far from perfect, and according to the modder there are some scenes that could have been better. So yeah, don’t expect any triple-A quality here. Still, it can give you an idea of what The Witcher 1 could look like in a modern-day engine like the one used in The Witcher 3.
It’s worth noting that there are currently no proper mod tools for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. And from the looks of it, we won’t be getting such tools any time soon. Still, imagine what modders could achieve with proper modding tools.
Those interested can download the mod from here.
Have fun everyone!

They had to screwed us out of the mod tools!
The modder’s name is “erxv”, not Eero.
It’s breathtaking, even considering how dated it is today.
That game truly had heart. The aura of the world is just magical. Sapkowski’s thoughts turned into pixels.

I played The Witcher and The Witcher 2 back to back and remember being very disappointed by pretty much every departure from TW1 in TW2 from combat, to Geralt’s face, to overall tone, atmosphere, lighting, color grading, stupid QTEs, not to mention short main campaign bogged down by dumb politics and basically no Witching at all. The Witcher 2 can be called “Some dude with white hair and two swords” for all I care, to me it is not a Witcher game at all.
This experience to me made never want to go back to The Witcher 2 and I didn’t and honestly I don’t regret it.
