As the release window for The Witcher 4 grows ever closer, new content for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt can help players prepare for the anticipated sequel. One of the biggest changes in the next title is its protagonist, switching from Geralt to Ciri for the first time in the series' history. Through an underrated mod, players can gain new appreciation for Ciri before her new role is established.

There have been many mods for The Witcher 3, from ones that improve the game's visual quality to others that refine gameplay elements to be easier for players to use. However, new quests are much rarer mods, as they seek to add new story content. These often require much more manipulation of in-game systems, usually with added dialogue and events that demand a higher effort in their creation.

The Witcher 3 Has A Perfect Epilogue Mod

The Witcher 3 Geralt and Ciri together for Ciri's Sole Momento mod quest

Ciri's Sole Momento is a mod created by NexusMods user wiggolp, originally uploaded in 2020 and updated in 2021. This mod adds a new story quest for The Witcher 3, taking place only if players got one of the good endings for the game. After the credits roll, this quest activates, acting as an extra story between Geralt and Ciri that deepens the connection between both characters, especially Ciri.

For those who have downloaded this mod and wish to start its custom quest, it begins at Dandelion's Tavern in Novigrad. A new quest marker will activate as you get closer to this location on your map when all the right conditions are met.

While not strictly "cannon" to the events of The Witcher 3, this mod provides a nice story where Geralt and Ciri track down something of important value. This heartwarming adventure is a way to connect the two characters after the events of the main game, giving them a last story together before Geralt's time in the spotlight wanes. For players looking for any additional content with these two beloved figures from the series, this mod can be a wonderful experience.

This mod includes a couple of small fights, but mostly seeks to offer a small postgame window for Geralt and Ciri's relationship. Quiet and somber moments between these two are an interesting addition on its own, with the quest itself providing a good backdrop for putting these two in the same space for a short time.

We May Be Getting An Official DLC Soon

Secret Expansion Rumors Hints At Something New For 2026

With this mod giving players some more time with Geralt and Ciri, some rumors have hinted at even more new content for The Witcher 3. Some leaks have suggested that developer CD Projekt Red is releasing a "secret expansion," adding more DLC to the game. Players who have experienced the well-received Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone expansions may have a third set of extra content to explore in 2026.

To play the Ciri's Sole Momento mod, you need to have both Witcher 3 DLC expansions purchased and installed already.

It would make sense for more The Witcher 3 DLC to come out this year, as a way to promote The Witcher 4 before its planned release in 2027. In fact, some of the story content in any potential DLC expansion could help set up the events of The Witcher 4, prepping players for Ciri's eventual journey in the sequel.

While nothing official has been announced yet, these rumors are reaching a fevor pitch, as developer Fool's Theory is hinted to be heading any sort of development. As marketing for The Witcher 4 truly begins this year, fans can expect more information surrounding The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to give them another reason to play the beloved RPG, alongside great mods from its community.
