CD Projekt Red has confirmed it is working to remove an “unintended” bug from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that gave several NPCs realistic genitalia.
Last week, it was reported the recent next-gen update to The Witcher 3 had given several characters realistic vaginas, replacing the smooth, Barbie-inspired crotches from the original game.
According to Kotaku, the crones of Crookback Bog and the bruxas have realistic vaginas following a game’s update. However, a statement from CD Projekt Red confirmed that this inclusion was a mistake, and came into being after accidentally using a player-made nude mod within the recent, next-gen update.
“The next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features several community-sourced mods not developed by CD Projekt Red, on top of numerous enhancements created and implemented by the studio internally,” said the statement. “Merging everything together was a complex process and also the textures under consideration are an unintended result present in the release version. This really is something we are working to address.”
They continued to confirm the visible labia and crotch hair will be removed from The Witcher 3 “as these textures weren't meant to be present in the release version of the game.”
Last year, CD Projekt Red says Sebastian Kalemba had been appointed as game director, overseeing the brand new Witcher trilogy.
“Career news: I'm directing the brand new Witcher Saga,” said Kalemba, who was simply at CD Projekt Red since 2023, joining as lead animator on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 before becoming the company's creative director in 2023.
“I believe nothing is impossible and raising the bar, telling emotional stories & creating worlds is exactly what we're here for,” he continued. “I'm proud to be a part of CDPR and use this type of talented and passionate team.”
Last May, it had been announced that The Witcher 4 had entered pre-production while CD Projekt Red confirmed these were already thinking about Witcher games beyond that.
In other news, Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto has said fans can “look forward” to more 2D Sonic The Hedgehog games.
