Now here is something cool for all our The Witcher fans. A modder is currently working on a fan expansion for The Witcher 3 that will be based on the original book, The Last Wish, and shared an alpha version of it.
The Last Wish will be a fully-voiced, high quality recreation of the original book by Andrzej Sapkowski. Its alpha version features the The Lesser Evil chapter. This will give you a glimpse at what the project. aims to achieve.
As the modder noted, The Last Wish Project will be designed as an action adventure which compliments the original work. So, expect this to be really faithful to the book.
Now, since this is in alpha state, we don’t know when – and if – we’ll get a final version of it. And look, I don’t want to be pessimistic here. But this project sounds too big and ambitious for an individual.
The good news is that, unlike other ambitious mods, you can at least try it. So, go ahead and download its alpha from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video walkthrough. Thus, if you don’t fancy downloading it, you can at least watch it.
I think the best approach for The Last Wish Project is to complete one chapter at a time. Once a chapter gets finished, the modder should release it so that he can keep the hype alive. At the same time, The Witcher fans will have more reason to support him via his Patreon.
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. Then we have the must-have HD Reworked Project. 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 also shared mods that restored the boat races and added 15 new quests. Plus, a modder has restored the reputation system that CDPR cut from the game.
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. In theory, these mods should be compatible with this TW1 Mod. 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.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Seems more interesting than the witcher 4 that is featuring a witcher… that cant be a witcher to begin with. Gotta love companies that throws lore out the window to make a political statement
No where in the books does it say a female can't be a Witcher and there are a couple of routes where Ciri could pull it off. After all we have long ago established she is not your average female in any way shape or form. What I believe the most likely way they'll do it is using the machine Professor Moreau used to try to cure his son of mutations caused by the Trial of the Grasses which Geralt used to enhance his own mutations. Machine is still sitting the the basement of Corvo Bianco.
But what we know as absolute facts is that women can't do the trials and even worse being an adult.
She could be an exception because of the blood and all, but that's a big if, cause even the knowledge of the trials were lost (she could go back in time an retrieve it?!).
As you can see is a big stretch to even try to make that work, so just for that, the idea is already flawed.
Not true, no where in the books does it say a female can't be a Witcher only that it was only tried on boys and that comes from the author himself.
Besides with Professor Moreau's machine there is no need to do a trial of the grasses.
The trial of the grasses was designed to work on boys. Women have a different hormonal composition than men and that is that. Sure they could adapt it but who would spend such wast resources considering how "popular" the male witcher already are?
Grabbing at straws is what the Ciri witcher idea is if you care about the lore in the first place. They should made an own parallel instead and it had draw enough
It does not say that anywhere in the books. It only says that only boys were chosen with no explanation as to why
With Professor Moreau's machine there is no Trail of Grasses needed and besides the author himself already chimed in and said there is no reason Ciri couldn't get the Witcher mutations.
"And look, I don’t want to be pessimistic here. But this project sounds too big and ambitious for an individual."
It's called being realistic, but I yeah, people are quite over sensitive these days!
Btw, I'll download as a guarantee for now. Cause, as you mentioned, this may very well just vanish tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up, lad!
