The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3 is almost 5 years old now, but modders are hardly done with the game, continuing to work on mods that bring a variety of enhancements. A brand new mod that has been released recently introduces some nice improvements for combat.

The E3 Improved Combat Animations mod introduces some very nice improvements to combat animations for Geralt. You can check them in action in the video below.

What does this do?

Improves combat animations with swords and removes the stationary spinning moves while adding an additional attack distance to more effectively close distance.
Contains alternate attack combos for secondary weapons like maces and hatchets.

Installation

Simply drop the contents of the downloaded archive into the main Witcher 3 folder.

More information on the mod can be found on its Nexus Mods page.

While it will be a while before we will see a new entry in the series, Geralt of Rivia will soon make his debut in Monster Hunter World through a special The Witcher 3 event launching next month. This event, according to producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, will introduce additional RPG mechanics to the game.

The quest for this collaboration is really unique because it mixes Monster Hunter: World gameplay along with the RPG elements of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to create a really fresh experience we think is going to appeal to fans of both series. You’ll see that coming early in 2019. We couldn’t have done it, of course, without the close collaboration of CD Projekt Red. We’re still working with them right now on the content and I think you’re really going to enjoy it.

The Witcher 3 is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions.
