For fans of the Witcher game series, CD Projekt Red announced an exciting piece of good news earlier that a new sequel to the Witcher series is in development! However, the Doctor remembers that as early as March 2020, Adam Kiciński, the executive of the Polish Donkey, had already mentioned the new "The Witcher", and he also stressed that the new game was not "The Witcher 4", because "The Witcher 3" was the last "Wizard" work featuring Geralt of Livia.
Therefore, the above new news is not very shocking for the doctor, and the subtitle, specific content, release time, etc. of the new work of "The Witcher" have not been announced, which makes people helpless. However, I noticed that the game official revealed two important details, one is the news related to the game engine, and the other is the first public "The Witcher" new main visual map. Let's take a look.
According to polish stupid donkeys, this time in terms of the game engine of The Witcher's new game, they chose to work with Epic Games, choosing to use the Unreal 5 engine to make a new product instead of the original RED Engine. In terms of the scope of the cooperation, it includes the licensing of Unreal Engine V and the corresponding technical development. Please note: The collaboration between the two is limited to game engines, and the new Wizard will not be exclusive to Epic Games!
We remember: Polish Donkey has been developing games with the self-developed engine REDengine since 2011's The Witcher 2: Assassin of kings, until recently cyberpunk 2077. In addition, in the future, RED Engine will continue to provide technical support for Cyberpunk 2077 (and new expansion packs). This time, the new "The Witcher" uses a new engine, and the doctor personally believes that it may be closely related to the poor performance of the old engine in Cyberpunk 2077, and the RED Engine may not meet the developer's requirements. In addition, the iteration and adjustment of the game engine requires a lot of resources and energy, it is better to cooperate with professional engine companies, more cost-effective!
Pave Zawodny, chief technology officer of Polish Donkey, said their partnership with Epic Games will greatly improve the predictability and efficiency of development, while gaining cutting-edge game development tools. This also shows from the side that they have realized that their RED Engine is somewhat outdated. In addition to changing the engine, the main visual graphics of the new "The Witcher" are also quite detailed, the text is "A New Saga Begins", and the snow buried is obviously the cat school badge! If the protagonist of the new "The Witcher" is no longer Geralt, then the most likely nature is the holder of the Cat School badge, Ciri.
In The Witcher' original novel, Volume VII, "Lady in the Lake", Ciri is imprisoned by the cruel bounty hunter Leo Bonnet, who wears three Demon Hunter badges on his chest, namely Wolf, Cat, and Griffin. Ciri later overcame his fears and defeated Leo Bonnett, taking away the three badges mentioned above. The Wolf School badge was given to Geralt, the Griffin School badge was given to Yenif, and Ciri himself left the Cat School badge. In the game The Witcher 3, Ciri's blood bar is shaped like the Cat School badge, and the Cat School badge is always hanging around his waist. The new visual diagram of the new "The Witcher" highlights the cat school badge, and Ciri should be the protagonist!
In addition, in December 2019, CDPR screenwriter Jakub Szamalek mentioned in a related interview that he was very willing to write more story content for Ciri to make up for the regret of not having much of a story for Ciri in three generations. If the above speculation is true, are you looking forward to such a new Open World Game of the Wizarding Series created by Ciri and Unreal Engine V?
