5 mistakes CDPR must avoid in The Witcher remake

Today marks the 15th anniversary of The Witcher, and a remake of the original game that started it all has been announced to be in the works by studio Fool’s Theory, under the direct supervision of developer CD Projekt Red. The game was previously codenamed Canis Majoris.

CD Projekt Red has gained quite a bit of notoriety after the initially disastrous launch of one of the most anticipated games of the decade, Cyberpunk 2077.

If the current state of Cyberpunk 2077 is anything to go by, things have taken a turn for the better, and CD Project Red is finally delivering on their promises.

With current-gen hardware such as that of the PlayStation 5, gamers have come to expect higher resolutions and frame rates from their games. CD Projekt Red must deliver on both these fronts, providing a stable experience on launch day.

Cyberpunk 2077 was reportedly rushed for its release, and many of its advertised core gameplay features were absent from the final product, resulting in negative reception across the board.
