The Witcher 3 Music Overhaul Mod released, adds 16 brand new songs


Modders ‘Ridog8’ and ‘Moahofer30’ released a pretty cool new mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, called The Witcher 3 Music Overhaul Project. As its title suggests, this project aims to overhaul the music of CD Projekt RED’s RPG.

Instead of replacing already existing music, this mod adds brand new songs to the game. The ultimate goal of the modders is to add a musical variety to The Witcher 3, and make it even more immersive and atmospheric.

Its latest version, version 1.1, adds 16 new songs in total. All these new tracks are for when exploring the game’s environments, and not for when engaging in combat.

When entering a new region or loading a game, the vanilla track will be played first. After that, the new songs follow. The modder stated that he did that in order to avoid any possible repetitiveness as the vanilla tracks are mostly shorter than the newly added tracks.

Last but not least, the modders are currently working on adding moreĀ  songs to the mod. Their aim is to add a few songs every now and then, so the whole game gets this special, musical treatment.

The Witcher 3 Music Overhauld Mod certainly… “sounds” interesting. In order to install it, you’ll have to extract the zipped file and put everything into your >mods< folder. If you have no mods folder, you should create one. This mod is compatible with most other mods, as it only has one file to it (soundspc.cache). However, it will most likely conflict with any other “Music mod”.

Those interested can download the mod from here, and below you can find some videos highlighting the new songs (the vanilla songs are played first in these videos, followed then by the new ones)!
