I'm not sure anyone had CD Projekt Red getting wrapped up in a controversy surrounding genitals on their 2023 bingo card, but that's exactly what's being going down with The Witcher 3 over the past few days and the studio just can't sweep the saga under the rug. Last week, an NSFW image of The Crones of Crookback Bog made its way around social media, showing them stark naked with their nether regions fully on display during the scene in which they mask themselves as humans when encountering Ciri.

CD Projekt Red was quick to respond to this image, letting everyone know that their addition was due to a community-sourced mod that had managed to slip through during development of the next-gen update. The studio went on to promise that it's currently "working on a fix," but a new development in the story has turned what was once a silly story into something a little more serious.

CD Projekt Red has yet to respond to this allegation, though it does call into question how many other mods the studio could have potentially lifted should the accusations be accurate. In CD Projekt Red's defence, it did claim before the release of the next-gen update that it would be crediting and paying creators for any mods it
