At the end of October, CD Projekt Red announced remake Witcher. The original game, although not as popular at the time, began to attract the attention of players after its success. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and, of course, the Netflix series. The Poles did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of hype that surrounds the franchise, and they want everyone to try their saga from the first part.
Yes, during the announcement, the company did not share too many details of the game level. However, this week CD Projekt confirmed during an internal presentation that remake Witcher bet on the open world (by using VGK). The news is obviously quite significant, as it will completely change the linear adventure that we knew back in 2007.
Why is this an important decision? Very simple. One of the innovations that led to the success The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt it was his open world. With this installment, many players became fans of the franchise; so the best way to draw attention to the first game was a remake that offered free roaming.
Previously, the Poles expected that Witcher will be developed from scratch, but we didn’t expect them to integrate the open world. Now this also has a slight disadvantage, namely that it will take longer to create than remake ordinary. In fact, the study didn’t want to push a tentative release date; especially with a well-known history of delays of victims cyberpunk 2077 – and it served little or nothing -.
Despite the above, they are very confident in developing a remake, in large part because they will leave aside their own problematic graphics engine. Instead of, will use Unreal Engine 5, by Epic Games. This engine has repeatedly proven its worth in the industry, mainly because it integrates all kinds of technologies that make it easy to create any game, regardless of its genre. Even CD Projekt plans to use it in The Witcher 4 and continuation to cyberpunk 2077.
“Witcher This is where it all started for us at CD Projekt Red. It was the first game we made and that was the big moment for us back then. Going back to this place and remaking the game for the next generation of players feels just as big, if not big,” said Adam Badowski, director of the company.
We must not forget that CD Projekt has an ambitious strategy for the future. Witcher. In addition to the aforementioned remake, a new one is on the way. new trilogy, as well as a project developed by a third-party studio. The release dates, of course, are not yet known to anyone.
