First Look at the Unreal Engine 5 3D Fan Remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/first-look-at-the-unreal-engine-5-3d-fan-remake-of-the-legend-of-zelda-the-minish-cap/
CryZENx, best known for his Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is working on a new fan remake. This time, the artist is remaking The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap in Unreal Engine 5. And, a couple of days ago, CryZENx released the first dev video for it.
This video shows off what the artist aims to create. From what I can see, this fan remake will be a full 3D remake. As such, it can give us an idea of what this Zelda game could look like on modern platforms.
For those who did not know, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a Zelda game that came out on Game Boy Advance in 2004. It serves as a prequel to Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, telling the origins of the Four Sword and the villain Vaati.
In May 2026, we got an unofficial PC port of this game. So, I highly recommend downloading it and trying it. Once you have played it, you can rewatch this trailer, as it will give you an idea of what CryZENx will create. As with the fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this remake will not cover the entire game. Instead, the artist will focus on various areas. He will also add proper gameplay mechanics, meaning that you will be able to interact with NPCs, fight enemies, and solve puzzles.
There is currently no ETA for when the first public version will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

The Witcher 3 Remastered makes the original's best HD mod obsolete, but only because that same modder's been working on the real deal
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-witcher/the-witcher-3-remastered-makes-the-originals-best-hd-mod-obsolete-but-only-because-that-same-modders-been-working-on-the-real-deal/
It's been a long road, but a mod we called The Witcher 3's best graphics overhaul will no longer be needed—and for once, I can talk about a mod becoming obsolete with a smile on my face, because the reasons involved here are all good ones.
The Witcher 3 HD Reworked is a cornerstone of the game's modding scene. We're talking over 325,000 unique downloads (725,000 in total), and that's just the version that was uploaded back in 2024. The "OldGen" version, uploaded in 2015, has an eye-melting 1.7 million unique downloads (5.8 million in total). It's a frankly astonishing upscaling and remodelling project that effects thousands of textures, models, and so on in CD Projekt Red's classic.
It's so impressive, in fact, that CDPR just snapped the guy up for The Witcher 3 Remastered. HalkHogan writes: "It's been a while since the last news and I would like to clarify any questions and confirm that I am cooperating with CDPR on The Witcher 3 Remaster, and my work will be officially available in the game on September 29 (on PC and consoles). HDRP will no longer be needed.
