The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

You are Geralt of Rivia, mercenary monster slayer. Before you stands a war-torn, monster-infested continent you can explore at will. Your current contract? Tracking down Ciri — the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world.

A cut Witcher 3 scene has been discovered, and it's one that would have seen fan favourite Yennefer betray the Lodge of Sorceresses.

Back in May, CD Projekt Red finally released its REDkit Mod Editor for The Witcher 3, opening up the doors for all sorts of modding capabilities for the nine year old game. It was a welcome tool set for many, and now as reported by PC Gamer, it's helped uncover a cut Witcher 3 scene that details what would have happened to the Lodge of Sorceresses at the end of the game. This isn't something that was really covered in the original game, and it's clearly a scene CD Projekt Red opted noted to progress with, given how it wasn't included in the final result - the scene isn't even finished, but you can check out the video from one of the modders who found it, xLetalis, below (and spoilers for the end of the game ahead, obviously).

As the game stands, once Geralt beats Eredin, shortly after it's found that Avallac'h took Ciri to the tower on Undvik so that she can beat the White Frost. This always happens, no matter what ending you went for, and it seems that this cut scene with Yennefer would have taken place between Geralt's walloping of Eredin, and the final moment with Ciri at the tower. Those moments wouldn't have changed all that much, but as mentioned it does indicate what might have happened with the Lodge of Sorceresses.
