Cd Projekt Red Explains Big Change For The Witcher 4

Back on March 21, CD Projekt Red announced a new Witcher game, tentatively dubbed The Witcher 4 by the Internet, despite CDPR insisting this isn’t a formal title for the game. Right now, there’s no word of platforms, a release date, or when it will be revealed. All we know about the game is that it’s going to be running on Unreal Engine 5, which is a major change for the series, as previous games, including The Witcher 3, have run on CD Projekt Red’s internal engine. An engine change may not seem like a major change, but it is. The game will fundamentally play and look different in a different engine. The question is, will this change be for the better? Well, CD Projekt Red seems to think so.

CDPR explain their decision to switch to Unreal Engine 5 for the next Witcher game. “Our cooperation with Epic has just started. It was the shift towards open world support that brought UE5 to our attention.“https://t.co/HafJd1pyI1 #TheWitcher pic.twitter.com/H1X6keC9yT
