The Witcher
It’s been almost seven years since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red’s flagship title, and now we’re finally hearing some substantial progress on its successor. Earlier, CDPR officially confirmed that the new work of the “Witcher” series is under development, and this time they have reached a multi-year strategic cooperation with Epic Games to migrate the game from the original REDengine to Unreal Engine 5.
According to reports, this cooperation will not only cover development licensing, but also related technical development of Unreal Engine 5 and potential subsequent versions of Unreal Engine. CDPR stated that they “will focus on adapting the cooperating engine to the open world gaming experience” and “work closely” with the developers at Epic Games. However, at this stage, there is no official information about the game to share.
It is worth mentioning that CDPR also emphasized that REDengine will still be used in the upcoming “Cyberpunk 2077” (Cyberpunk 2077) expansion pack.
