New Adventures Await in the Witcher Universe
While waiting for The Witcher 4 and the upcoming remake of the original game, fans have an unexpected gift: Tales of the Witcher, a free story expansion created by modder Gerwant. This ambitious mod serves as a prequel, sending Geralt to the kingdom of Cintra long before the events of the books or games.
What’s in the Mod?
Dive into a brand-new narrative where Geralt roams a reimagined Cintra, taking on deadly contracts and slaying monsters. The mod features:
- Original storylines with new characters and quests
- Fresh environments to explore
- Classic Witcher gameplay – investigation, combat, and moral choices
- Lore-friendly integration into the Witcher universe
As the mod description states: “Do what a witcher was made to do – killing monsters.”
How to Access the Expansion
- Platform: PC only (via NexusMods)
- Download: Search “Tales of the Witcher” on NexusMods
- Install: Follow the modder’s instructions (requires base game)
Note: Not available on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch.
Why This Matters
With The Witcher 4 likely years away, this mod offers:
- New content for one of gaming’s greatest RPGs
- Deeper lore exploration in a pivotal location (Cintra)
- A testament to the passionate modding community
It’s the perfect way to revisit Geralt’s world while anticipating CD Projekt Red’s upcoming projects.

Looking Ahead
While The Witcher 3’s official expansions (Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine) set a high bar, fan creations like this keep the game alive. As CDPR shifts focus to The Witcher 4 (powered by Unreal Engine 5) and the 2007 remake, mods ensure the Continent never sleeps.
