After an iffy leak, CD Projekt RED today announced the official launch of REDkit, which lets gamers create their own adventures using assets from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. The modkit is free and can be downloaded here. It is currently in the open beta phase.
Head of CD Projekt RED Adam Badowski stated that, “For CD Projekt RED, RPGs are all about telling amazing stories. We want to give players the power to tell the same kind of non-linear, branching stories that made The Witcher games so popular.
“Our fans have helped us for years to make our games the best they can be, and REDkit is part of embracing our community as a partner in game development.”
Some of the features of REDkit include the SpeedTree foliage system and other terrain creation tools, assets and models from The Witcher 2, the ability to create dynamic day and night cycles, story-telling tools to create branching plots and quests, dialogue cameras, NPC creation and much, much more.
