WolvenKit

WolvenKit - Community game editing suite for CyberPunk 2077.

Summary: What is Wolvenkit?

Originally released as W3Edit by Sarcen, WolvenKit is the open-source (GPLv3) windows/Linux GUI editor that is the workhorse for beginner and advanced modders. It supports any game using redENGINE (v3 or v4).

As of 2026, that means Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

What can WolvenKit do for you?

To make any persistent changes, you need to work inside WolvenKit Projects. Without one, you can still browse through game files, but changes won't be persistent.

Asset Management	In the Asset Browser, you can look through all files in the game — no extra steps needed. By toggling the Mod Browser button, you can see modded intead of base game files.
Mod Packing	With just the push of a toolbar button, you can load your mod directly into your game (even while it's running), or pack it for upload on Nexus.
File Editing	The built-in File Editor lets you edit any REDengine4 files, including in-place buffer data.
Import/Export	Easy Import/Export of REDEngine4 files (for example: .xbm =>.png, .mesh => .glb) for editing in external software like Blender.
World Editing	Wolvenkit is well-integrated with the World Editingtoolchain - you can convert your temporary world edit to just another part of Night City.
Quest Editing	Our quest editor is not as comfortable as CDPR's (we hope!!!), but you can create your own quests.
