In February 2026, modder ‘Fandera’ released the first version of Dawn Over Kovir. Dawn Over Kovir is a DLC-sized fan expansion for The Witcher 3 Next-Gen. This mod is inspired by The Witcher 4 Cinematic Reveal Trailer, adding the Kingdom of Kovir and the Poviss region to the game. And, a couple of days ago, Fandera announced a brand new version of it.
Version 2.0 will be a major expansion of the mod. As the modder noted, it will improve Ciri’s existing storyline and expand the Kovir and Poviss location. It will also add new quests, improve various scenes and dialogue, and introduce a second playable character. This second character is no other than Geralt himself.
It’s also worth noting that the modder aims to implement a new combat mechanic for Ciri and a new monster, if technically feasible. He also plans to polish the animations, music, gameplay elements, and overall atmosphere. Plus, we’ll get localization support for more than two languages.
There is currently no ETA for when Dawn Over Kovir Version 2.0 will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted. And hey. Until this new version comes out, you can at least try its previous version. You can download it from here.
Speaking of The Witcher 3 Next-Gen, you can also download some other cool mods for it. For example, there is a really cool first-person mod. The Characters Reworked Project is another interesting mod that improves the quality of over 100 characters. Let’s also not forget this mod that lets you kill most in-game NPCs. Then we have this mod that overhauls the game’s combat with better animations, better targeting, and new dodging mechanics.
In July 2024, we shared mods that restored the boat races and added 15 new quests. A modder has also restored the reputation system that CDPR cut from the game. Plus, there is a cool fan expansion, based on the original book “The Last Wish”. Then, in February 2026, a modder shared a DLC-sized expansion mod that added a new questline for Ciri and a new region to explore.
Another must-have mod is The Witcher 3 Online. With this mod, players can join servers and play together with friends. You can customize your character with Custom Player Characters and relax in taverns using the Chill Out feature. You can also chat with other players, use emotes, and roleplay with strangers. Best of all, you can experience the full story of Geralt and Ciri from beginning to end, all while exploring the world of The Witcher with other players.
In December 2023, we shared this mod that restores content that was cut from all previous The Witcher games. Then, in February 2024, we shared a mod that attempted to remove the fake “hero” light from the game’s cut-scenes. There is also this mod that allows you to explore a part of the world from the first The Witcher game in TW3. Oh, and don’t forget this mod that allows you to ride a Griffin. Or how about this Sekiro-inspired combat mod?
We also have some mods for those playing with Ray Tracing. The RTX Mirrors Mod adds proper reflections to the game’s mirrors. Then we have this mod that improves the fire effects via Ray Tracing Global Illumination. Plus, this mod fixes the Ray Tracing bleach issues.
