The Witcher 3 Online Mod Lets You Hunt Monsters and Hang Out in Taverns Together
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A new fan-made mod called Witcher Online brings multiplayer support to The Witcher 3, allowing players to explore the Continent, hunt monsters, and hang out in taverns together.
Modders continue to prove they are the real MVPs of long-term game support. Over a decade after its initial release, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has officially entered the multiplayer era thanks to a new fan-made project called Witcher Online. Created by developer rejuvenate and originally highlighted by Polygon, the mod introduces server support that lets players explore the Continent together, fight monsters as a squad, and hang out in taverns. While the default setup results in a server full of competing Geralts, the mod also supports the Custom Player Characters mod so you and your friends can customize your looks and show off distinct avatars.
Beyond just running around the open world, the mod supports the Chill Out mod for relaxed social sessions, complete with emotes and in-game chat. It is a massive technical feat for a single-player role-playing game of this scale, letting players experience the full storyline cooperatively rather than just wandering solo. For a community that spends countless hours on streaming platforms and social spaces discussing every lore detail, turning one of the best single-player adventures into a shared hangout spot is a massive win for player engagement.
This release comes at a fascinating time for the franchise. Rumors continue to swirl about a potential third expansion from CD Projekt Red arriving later this year to bridge the gap toward The Witcher 4. Whether you are jumping back in for official content or testing out the multiplayer servers with friends, the Continent is about to get very crowded. You can read the original reporting over at Polygon to check out all the details on how the mod works.
