The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt “HD Reworked Project NextGen Edition 2026” has been formally revealed, and a new trailer showcasing the project has been released, which is exciting news for the mod-making community. The project made by Halk Hogan, which is scheduled for release in 2026, aims to further improve the game’s visual fidelity.

This new version will bring “a huge number of improvements” to assets that were previously unaltered or of lower quality, according to modder Halk Hogan, who made the well-known texture-overhaul pack. This includes more animals in the world, redesigned monsters, far richer textures, and improved depth mapping.

What to Expect in NextGen Edition 2026

• Many surfaces and objects will receive real 3D depth instead of being flat textures.
• High-quality textures, many at 4K resolution, re-worked models, and improved LODs for distant objects.
• The project builds on the existing Next-Gen version of the game and takes it to an even higher level.

This new version may effectively give The Witcher 3 a second new lifespan for users of high-end PCs and next-generation consoles. It demonstrates how the game’s technical and visual potential is still developing years after its initial release.

This announcement provides players with a strong incentive to wait if they want to return to the Geralt world with the greatest graphics available. Fans and modding enthusiasts are already excited by the trailer alone.
