Developed single-handedly by modder GerwantTOTW, this expansion takes us to the home kingdom of Ciri, where the capital city of the same name lies atop the ruins of an ancient elven civilization, Xin'trea. The mod features the capital, surrounding lands, and a local village, Hilden, with 5 hours of gameplay, 12 new quests, and even an economy overhaul. "In Cintra, like anywhere else, people spin whatever yarns come to mind, especially after a few tankards of vile beer," the description reads. "One of those tales, mumbled by a dying hearth, is a legend... It all started with a simple job. A contract near Hilden. But on-site, after finding the tracks, things started to get complicated. I decided to play the hero again. Whispers of a gang called the Blue Rose are spreading through the villages. They're not fanatics praying to some forgotten saint, but a band of cutthroats who discovered that there's real power slumbering beneath the old legend. And me? As usual, I walked right into the middle of this swamp. Instead of a simple job, I got tangled up in a conspiracy reeking of greed, blood, and dark magic. I'll have to untangle it. My way." The mod doesn't feature voice acting or any voice-over work, as the author opted for subtitles to tell the story instead of recruiting volunteers or, thankfully, relying on AI - all the more reason to support their work. Right now, it's available in English, Polish, German, French, Czech, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Hungarian, Turkish, and Brazilian. How To Play The Fan-Made Cintra Expansion Source: GerwantTOTW To try the expansion, simply link your CD Projekt Red account and search for 'Cintra' on mod.io or the in-game mod menu. Once installed: Go to the main menu and select New Game. Choose Tales of the Witcher from the campaign menu. Start a fresh playthrough. Tales of the Witcher runs independently of the original storyline, and so base game saves will be temporarily hidden in the menu while the mod is active and will reappear unharmed once the mod is uninstalled. Cintra's Place In Witcher Lore Source: GerwantTOTW Cintra is a pivotal location in The Witcher universe, though it hasn't appeared in the mainline CDPR games as yet. Located south of Sodden and Riverdell, the kingdom was among the first to fall during Emperor Emhyr var Emreis' invasion of the Northern Kingdoms. Most of the royal family were cut down by Nilfgaardian steel, while Queen Calanthe — Ciri's grandmother — threw herself from the castle tower to escape capture. By the events of The Witcher 3, Cintra stands annexed by Nilfgaard and is led by False Ciri, a puppet ruler installed by the empire. GerwantTOTW's REDkit expansion provides console players with an opportunity to explore the region firsthand, but if you've ever seen the Netflix show or read the books, you'll already be familiar with this fascinating little corner of The Witcher.
