A new mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been released and adds a brand new questline for Ciri that takes place before the events of The Witcher 4.
Created by Alexander Fandera-Maslov, aka Fandera at Nexus Mods, the ‘Dawn over Kovir’ mod follows Ciri and takes place after the main Witcher 3 campaign and acts as a prelude to The Witcher 4.
Fandera-Maslov told PC GamesN that the project took around “800 hours, from the first concept to the final test” to create, and even introduces the new regions of Kovir and Poviss for players to explore, which is where CD Projekt Red’s next game will take place.
“As Ciri hunts monsters, Ciri increasingly finds them not in the forests, but in people,” reads the counter description. “Disillusioned with humanity, she balances compassion and rage. Will the witch be able to master her anger and avoid becoming a monster herself?”
If you are waiting for The Witcher 4Dawn over Kovir may be coming.
All you need to play questline is the latest version of The Witcher 3 installed, it’s the next-gen version, as well as two additional mods to run it: Community Patch – Shared Imports and Custom Player Characters.
Fandera said the questline should take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours to complete, and since it was created before the release of The Witcher 4“questlines may overlap or be enhanced by the new Ciri game.”
The questline is also balanced for the ‘Pain and Suffering’ difficulty, and the modder also hopes to implement full voice acting in the future, along with improved animation and gameplay.
“My preferred direction is to work with real people, potentially professional actors or seasoned members of the Witcher fan community,” Fandera said.
The full 1.0 update is scheduled to be released “before the end of 2026,” Fendera told PC GamesN.
I installed the mod myself but unfortunately couldn’t get it to run due to a script error. It seems to be an issue for a few other players, but not all, and is something Fandera is looking into.
Hopefully an updated version will be released soon so I can finally dive in and scratch it Witcher itch.
