The Witcher 3 Gets Spooky With Slew of Halloween-Themed Mods

Something similar has even reached the bright and sunny Toussaint, as even though this country doesn’t hold the same dark and dreary spookiness as Temeria, the Pumpkin Patch at Corvo Bianco mod from TrickArrant brings, well, a pumpkin patch to Geralt’s home of Corvo Bianco.

“Pumpkin patches have always been one of my favorite parts of Fall, so I made this mod to bring that signature fall experience into the game, complete with the obligatory flannel shirt,” TrickArrant wrote.

This all adds a wonderfully spooky atmosphere to The Witcher 3 but, beyond just taking it all in, NexusMods user dingchavez666 even brought players a Halloween themed quest. The Saovine in Skellige mod adds a quest of the same name that tasks Geralt with lighting the Saovine bonfire in Skellige ahead of their celebrations.

This being The Witcher 3, however, not everything is as simple as it seems. Geralt must fend off dangerous wraiths while doing so and even comes across a spirit wolf.

These mods are just a handful of the myriad players are creating, with content creation boosted by the release of the aforementioned REDkit. This gives modders access to official assets used by CD Projekt Red and therfore allows the creation of new characters, quests, locations, and more.

Recent mods have seen players restore content cut by CD Projekt Red, add a morality and reputation system that adds even more consequences to Geralt’s actions, and even release a fully customizable character creator that lets players take on the role of a sorceress.

These have breathed more life into the game while CD Projekt Red focuses on its many upcoming Witcher projects. The next mainline game is codenamed and Polaris and will star a new protagonist, and an entry with more mass appeal is being developed at The Molasses Flood too. Fool’s Theory is also developing a remake of the original The Witcher in Unreal Engine 5.
