The Witcher website announces the release of the Modkit to support creating new and modified content for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the RPG sequel. There's an interview GameSpot with an unnamed employee of CD Projekt RED discussing the news and the game's mod support. Here's the news:

Released today, the Modkit enables Witcher community to modify several aspects of the game to their own liking. Thanks to texture import and export, gamers can now modify the looks and feel of in-game objects, while the possibility of substituting meshes allows to insert new models in the game world in place of existing ones. Finally, access to script files opens up an entirely new array or modification options to many in-game aspects, so modders can fire up their imagination and fiddle with item statistics and much more. In order to download the Modkit, head on over to nexusmods.com, the official home of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt mods where you can download the extractor itself as well as some of the exisiting mods.
