CD Projekt Red (CDPR)’s remaster of The Witcher 3 greatly enhanced the visual experience of the legendary title, while incorporating a host of community mods as well. It appears that the developer may have been too eager in doing so, as fans have discovered the accidental bundling of NSFW mods in The Witcher 3’s next-gen update. CDPR has acknowledged the issue, and will shortly be removing the offending textures.
While the original 2015 release of The Witcher 3 did in fact feature nudity, no genitalia textures were included in any instance of full-frontal female nudity scenes. CDPR made the decision to incorporate numerous popular graphics mods from the community with The Witcher 3’s next-gen update, and it seems that a number of unintended, rated AO-for-adults-only inclusions were also made during the process.
Fans on /r/witcher have spotted fully-developed female genitalia and pubic hair textures present on the Crookback Bog crones and bruxae enemies in the next-gen update. In a statement, CDPR has acknowledged that it accidentally included NSFW texture mods with the next-gen update:
The next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features several community-sourced mods not created by CD PROJEKT RED, on top of numerous enhancements created and implemented by the studio internally. Merging everything together was a complex process and the textures in question are an unintended result present in the release version. This is something we are working to address.
CDPR has also confirmed that it will be removing the offending textures as these “were not meant to be present in the release version of the game.”
The next-gen update, titled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition, is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. If you’re looking to pick it up now (for science purposes), check out our review of the next-gen update, where we found it “a vastly superior, definitive version” of the original title.
