Mods have always been essential in expanding gaming worlds, offering fresh experiences and new perspectives. Now, those who’ve always claimed that the books were better finally have something to celebrate. A new mod brings Geralt’s earliest adventures to life, giving fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for. Here's everything you need to know about this exciting new The Witcher mod.

Geralt’s First Adventures Come To Life

The Last Wish project is a fan-made mod that brings Geralt's early adventures from Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher book series to life within The Witcher 3. The mod adapts the stories from the 1993 collection The Last Wish, marking the beginning of Geralt’s journey as a monster hunter. By staying true to the darker tone and moral dilemmas of the books, the mod aims to recreate the feeling of the original tales in a fully playable format.

Currently, the mod is in its alpha stage, with The Lesser Evil story as its first episode. The mod is available for download through the official website, where fans can experience the early build and provide valuable feedback.

Support The Mod's Development

Though still in development, the creators of The Last Wish mod are focused on improving the overall experience. One area that needs significant attention is the voice acting, which is currently being done by AI. As the project grows, the team hopes to incorporate professional voice actors to bring even more authenticity to the mod.

Fans can contribute by engaging with the community, providing feedback, and supporting the project on Patreon, where possible donations range from $5.50 to $31. By backing the mod, supporters gain early access and a chance to be credited for their help in making the project a success.

The mod is still in development, so it may take some time before it's fully finished. Here’s a small glimpse into the modded world in the form of a trailer.

Future stories from The Last Wish collection, including A Grain of Truth, A Question of Price, The Edge of the World, The Last Wish, and The Voice of Reason, will also be brought to life in the mod.
