The Witcher 3 can still look prettier as impressive new mod shows

Avallac'h at this.

There's a new mod available for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC that reworks textures and models to make the game look better.

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project by Halk Hogan has tried to do this while preserving the game's original style.

As you can see in the video below, the mod gives textures increased detail and sharpness, which also scale up to 4K resolution, with many of the high quality meshes being created from scratch. There's even an option to enable "E3 Novigrad Walls"! Don't mention the downgrade, don't mention the downgrade.
