CD Projekt Red provides additional commentary on the accidental inclusion of a rather realistic “over there” lady bit The Witcher 3 the next generation.
Talking to IGN, the studio confirmed that it intends to remove vulva textures to ensure visual continuity across all character models.
The studio says removing the textures isn’t a “statement against nudity or adult themes,” as there were no plans to include said content in the next-gen release “from the start.”
CDPR is pushing to remove textures in a future update.
A studio spokesperson also confirmed that the mod in question is HD Monsters Reworked, not Vaginas for Everyone as previously believed.
“As CD Projekt Red was aware until recently, the vulva texture in question was part of the ‘HD Monsters Reworked’ (HDMR) mod, not the ‘Vaginas for Everyone’ mod,” the spokesperson told IGN.
“In 2021, when signing the copyright transfer agreement, the HDMR mod authors confirmed to CDPR that they are the sole authors of the mod in question. The HDMR mod authors grant CD Projekt Red the right to use the mod and receive credit and compensation for their work .”
The studio has since reached out to the creator of HD Monsters Reworked to clarify things further.
The next-gen update for The Witcher 3 launches in December 2022 and is free for owners of the full version on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. It includes graphics improvements and gameplay tweaks, all previously released DLC, some of the most popular mods integrated, and more.
