REDkit timelapse shows how we'll build worlds in The Witcher 2's engine

CD Projekt RED has released a new timelapse video to show off its upcoming modding tool, REDkit, which will be available free to owners of The Witcher 2 sometime in the first half of 2013. The software opens up The Witcher 2's REDengine, allowing users to create their own RPG worlds or modify The Witcher 2. Exciting, isn't it?

REDkit is currently in closed beta, with 100-plus modding teams providing feedback.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the rise of personal computers, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on the early PCs his parents brought home. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, Bushido Blade (yeah, he had Bleem!), and all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now. In 2006, Tyler wrote his first professional review of a videogame: Super Dragon Ball Z for the PS2. He thought it was OK. In 2011, he joined PC Gamer, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
