It's been five years since The Witcher 3 released, and some fans are still tirelessly working to improve its graphics. While the game was already beautiful at launch, The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project is a mod that has tried its best to elevate The Witcher 3 to what was originally promised at its gameplay reveal all the way back at E3 2014. The upcoming 12.0 update for the mod will make things even better by improving textures for NPCs in the game.

There are a wide number of mods available for The Witcher 3 out there. A lot of them are more functional like the Reworked Project, but many others add silly or fun options to the game. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of mods out there that replace Geralt's face with that of Henry Cavill from The Witcher TV show. Other fun mods allow players to give Geralt a perfect dad bod, complete with a noticeable gut, lack of muscle definition, and even love handles. Fans continue to create new content for the game, and it doesn't look like they are slowing down anytime soon.

PC Gamer reports that the popular The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project mod will finally be getting its 12.0 update, with mod creator Halk Hogan sharing the below impressive trailer. Most of the textures in the game will be updated and converted into 4K resolution, which will show off sharper and more realistic objects in the game. These updates will probably not be very noticeable to players who are playing the game at 1080p, but those who are playing the game in 4K will be able to see large differences between the original versions and the mod.

That's not a surprise, giving the fact that fans are still modding games like Morrowind (released 18 years ago)

Well, it's good that people are still supporting and improving games decades after their release. Such great fan bases are perfect for maintaining their lifespans. Think of it as plastic surgery, but with digital tools.
