CD Projekt Red Will Remove “Unintended” Realistic Nudity From The Witcher 3

CD Pro­jekt Red has that the addi­tion of vis­i­ble, real­is­tic labia and pubic hair in The Witch­er 3 new-gen update was not inten­tion­al. The devel­op­er is now work­ing on an update that will remove these textures.

This ini­tial report, and CD Pro­jekt Red’s state­ment, come from Kotaku. Most of the game’s roman­tic scenes don’t include full frontal female nudi­ty. How­ev­er, the Bruxa ene­mies and crones from Crook­back Bog (in one par­tic­u­lar late-game cutscene) do appear ful­ly nude, even in the orig­i­nal ver­sion of The Witch­er 3. Gen­i­talia in the orig­i­nal ver­sion was han­dled with a doll-like effect, with the cur­rent ver­sion hav­ing more real­is­tic nudi­ty. Kotaku reached out for com­ment on this real­is­tic inclu­sion, with CD Pro­jekt Red reply­ing, We’re look­ing into it and will have more infor­ma­tion in the com­ing days.”

After report­ing on the orig­i­nal top­ic and receiv­ing the state­ment, Kotaku then got an email from a CD Pro­jekt Red rep­re­sen­ta­tive, which read: “The next-gen ver­sion of The Witch­er 3: Wild Hunt fea­tures sev­er­al com­mu­ni­ty-sourced mods not cre­at­ed by CD PROJEKT RED, on top of numer­ous enhance­ments cre­at­ed and imple­ment­ed by the stu­dio inter­nal­ly. Merg­ing every­thing togeth­er was a com­plex process and the tex­tures in ques­tion are an unin­tend­ed result present in the release ver­sion. This is some­thing we are work­ing to address.”
