Hello my friends! It's time for first new preview of W3 HDRP NextGen Edition in this year. Today's preview focuses on the largely reworked village of Kaer Trolde on Skellige. You may see a lot of progress I have made over the last weeks/months, including even better quality that I managed to achieve. In addition to the new assets quality, my efforts also include making the entire game visuals more consistent and realistic. Expect more previews in the near future, as well as more informations and possibly a release date.Thanks and have a good day! :)
Hello my friends! Let's go with another preview of HDRP NextGen Edition! To clarify the situation, the official nextgen version of the game (PC, PS5, Xbox series S/X) has implemented HD Reworked Project 12.0 "Ultimate". HDRP Nextgen is a pc-only modification that will be released in 2023 on nexusmods. It will be the culmination of this project, to make The Witcher 3 beautiful gem for a long time. More info soon. Have a nice day. :)
Hello HalkHogan!Thank you for the exciting update on the reworked village of Kaer Trolde. The improvements sound amazing! I was wondering if you have any more information on the release date. We're coming up to June 2024, and you mentioned it would be released early this year. Any updates would be greatly appreciated!Best regards, Ur fan enthusiasts
Hello my friends! Thank you for the kind words! I'll have nice news for you soon. No release date yet, but something new in the HDRP what I'm currently working on, I think you will like it. ; ) Cheers!
People will never leave you alone until the mod update is out!
Take as along as you need to deliver on the ultimate HD mod of all time... but if you have an idea on release date then feel free to share (I suspect many people are holding off on starting a new play-through of TW3 until your new mod is out).
Don't get your hopes up. It's never going to come out. I love everything Halk has done over the years for the modding community, but ever since he started working for CDProjekt, he hasn't released anything new. The studio now owns everything he does, and there are probably a lot of legal issues now with releasing Witcher 3 assets on Nexus. For 3 years now, Halk keeps saying, "I have surprises for you in the coming days," and days turn into months, and months into years. Again... don't get your hopes up.
MasterWitcher1111 He already released small portion of the new mod. I think it would have been released already, but he postponed it when the redkit was announced. We can expect something different, maybe higher resolution or better mesh or something, but it takes more time. The wait is gonna worth it im sure.
I apologize in advance for this comment, but please don't take too long, for the sake of making textures for ugh...Starfield. Having a new W3 texture pack update before or during the Christmas holiday, that would be the ultimate gift.
Either way, your work Halk is so much appreciated. You're a godsend to the Witcher 3-community (as well as your great work for Cyberpunk 2077).
Welcome my friends. The release of HDRP NextGen edition will be in 2024, more information will be available soon, but I also have a small surprise for you which you will see about in the coming days. ;)
because as you know, The Witcher 3 will get an official mod editor, so you will only know the release date of the final HDRP some time after the release of these tools.
So it means that we need CDPR to release the so called "official mod editor" first and only then will Halk be able to work his magic, is what I get from his message.
Hopefully, HDRP NextGen edition will become available before the game's 10th anniversary which is on May 19th 2025, fingers crossed!
10th anniversary!!! C'mon man, don't be ridiculous!
When Halk says 2024, he means 2024!
We'll see about that! For now though, the release date of HDRP NextGen edition has slipped from 2023 to 2024.
The moment I became aware that there will be a NextGen edition for the essential HD Reworked Project mod, I halted my playthrough right away.
In the meantime I've switched to Skyrim till CDPR decides to release the so called "official mod editor" for Halk to finally begin the work on what promises to be the PS6 level of graphics (detailed and seamless textures with proper LODs) for The Witcher 3!
@MasterWitcher1111 you just showed your ignorance and disrespect. This is not the place for people like you with jokes like that. If you had any idea how voluminous hulk hogan's work is. Just get out of here.
OK, good to know. It's great that CDPR offers these modding tools. This could really breath additional life into the game, with proper story mods. With AI voice software, we can even get fully voiced characters that sound authentic.
Voice AI is already being used for various mods, including story-based Mass Effect ones - it works well.
So the date is set on 21st May 2024, wonder if Halk could release the next gen HDRP before Christmas?!
Obviously, I don't want an unfinished next gen project so Halk please take all the time you need, dear friend. Also, please upload a version which does not compromise on VRAM aka Ultra+ Quality, just like what you did with CP2077 where we have a Balanced version as well as the coveted Ultra Quality package.
