The Witcher 3 gets a new reason to return thanks to multiplayer

The Witcher 3 is back in the spotlight. Alongside speculations about a surprise third expansion, a community mod has emerged that transforms the famous RPG into a multiplayer experience.

Playing The Witcher 3 might look completely different this year. There are talks of another expansion intended to pave the way for The Witcher 4, and simultaneously, the Witcher Online mod has been released, adding the possibility to go through the game in a group.

Story co-op, joint monster hunts, and taverns full of Geralts

Eleven years since its original release, it seems to be a turning point for the world of The Witcher. While players' eyes are impatiently looking forward to Project Polaris, the code name for The Witcher 4, rumors of a secret trump card from CD Projekt Red are spreading across the internet. Reliable sources speak of the preparation of a smaller story expansion for the existing third installment.

Fans can shorten the wait for official content thanks to the incredible creativity of the modding scene. A user going by the nickname rejuvenate has released a modification called Witcher Online into the world.

The primary goal of the project is sharing the experience of exploring the Continent, where the user sees their friends directly in the game. This isn't just passive observation, as synchronization also allows for joint completion of main storyline quests and cooperative elimination of beasts.

The authors also thought about the social aspect and visual variety, so that only identical clones of the White Wolf wouldn't be moving around the world. The modification fully supports the Custom Player Characters add-on, thanks to which each participant can customize their character's appearance and stand out from others. For moments of rest after a demanding hunt, support for the Chill Out mod has been integrated, allowing groups of players to sit together in taverns and use a system of gestures or chat for communication.
