New Witcher 3 Mod

With The Witcher 4 still years away, the community has taken it upon itself to bridge the gap with new adventures. The latest and most ambitious effort is “Dawn over Kovir,” a substantial, free fan-made expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that lets players assume the role of Ciri in a completely new storyline, offering a tantalizing preview of the series’ future.

This professionally crafted mod adds a new region to the game and a narrative directly inspired by the tone of The Witcher 4‘s reveal trailer. As Ciri, now a full-fledged witcher, players navigate a moral landscape where the line between monster and human blurs. The quest explores her internal struggle, balancing her compassion against a rising fury—a central theme hinted at for her upcoming solo journey. While not an official product, it serves as a perfect, playable teaser for the character’s evolution.

The existence of such high-quality fan content underscores the intense anticipation for Ciri’s starring role. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 4 (codenamed Polaris) will feature the Lion Cub of Cintra as its protagonist, a move celebrated by fans who enjoyed her playable segments in the previous game.

Interestingly, this fan project arrives amidst persistent rumors that CD Projekt Red itself is preparing a new official story expansion for The Witcher 3. While unconfirmed, speculation suggests this DLC could serve as a narrative bridge, potentially allowing Geralt to pass the torch to Ciri in a canonical send-off. This would mirror the studio’s past approach with expansions and provide a perfect setup for the next chapter.
