Recently, CD PROJEKT RED, the developer of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, said that the next generation of The Witcher series games will be developed using unreal engine 5.
Having won 250 Game of the Year awards since its release, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has entered the ranks of RPG gods, followed by Two Additional DLC, Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine.
After the release of Cyberpunk 2077 by CD PROJEKT RED in 2020, the News of the Wizarding series of games has become less and less, this is the first time that the game developer has confirmed that there is a new sequel to the Wizarding series, in addition to the news that players care about, such as the development time frame or release date.
Separately, CD PROJEKT RED announced that as part of a multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games, they will move to the Unreal 5 graphics engine for game development. Since the release of The Witcher 2: Assassin of the Kings in 2011, CD PROJEKT RED has been building their game using their proprietary REDengine technology.
Starting with the sequel to the Wizarding series, cd PROJEKT RED developers will work with epic developers to customize new experiences for the open world using Unreal Engine 5.
Editor's Comments: "The Witcher" is really a rare RPG god series, and it is obvious that it will take a while to move from a proprietary engine to a more popular Unreal 5 engine, so it is urgent. Switching to Unreal 5 Engine is also a good thing, and the official cooperation with Unreal may be able to improve the optimization problem that has been criticized before, I hope that the new generation of "The Witcher" Polish stupid donkey can be polished and re-launched, and it is not good to repeat the mistakes of "Cyberpunk 2077".
