RedKit launches in closed beta

During their Fall Special Event, CD Projekt RED presented a beta version of their development kit, called REDKit. This modding toolset uses the studio’s in-house REDengine game engine, which was specially designed to create The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and the studio's upcoming RPG titles.

The REDkit toolset will be available in the first half of 2013 for free and to everyone who owns a copy of The Witcher 2. Currently, the REDkit is in the Closed Beta phase. During the conference, over 100 modding teams selected from a pool of over 600 squads were given access to it. These modders will assist in the development and perfection of the tools and the game engine itself.

REDkit is a development tool that allows users to create a world with the use of advanced landscape design tools, 24-hour day-and-night-cycle simulations and thousands of ready-made assets used in The Witcher 2. It also makes it possible to modify the original game.

“REDkit is a fresh approach to RPG creation. No other tool makes it so easy to create adventures where the player's choices actually matter," said Pawe³ Panasiuk, developer on the REDkit team.

CD Projekt RED's next title is the futuristic RPG - Cyberpunk 2077.
