Project Hyper Realism (Next Gen) Reshade v2.0

I made this ReShade with one goal — to make Witcher 3 look as if it was rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5.

No overexposed brightness, no fake colors — just pure, realistic beauty

Project – Hyper Realism is a ReShade preset made to push The Witcher 3 to the limits of realism.

It’s inspired by the lighting, tone, and atmosphere of Unreal Engine 5, focusing on lifelike color grading, natural lighting, and a balanced cinematic look — without losing the game’s original art style.

✨ Special Thanks & Credits:

This ReShade wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing RPL Lighting Mod created by Rafaperlau.

All credit and a huge thank you to him for his incredible work and contribution to The Witcher 3 modding community.

In the screenshot shown above, RTX was not enabled due to my system limitations.

If you have an RTX GPU, please feel free to upload your RTX screenshots in the User Images section of the mod page — that would be a huge help and greatly appreciated 💙

You must install the RPL Lighting Mod for the best results.

Without it, the game won’t look as realistic as I intended.
