CD Project’s next Witcher game ‘kicks off a new saga’ and is being made with Epic’s Unreal Engine
CD Project has revealed that its next Witcher game will mark a new era for the franchise.
The studio also announced on Monday that the open-world title is being built with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, rather than its proprietary REDengine, which powered past Witcher games and Cyberpunk 2077.
“We’re happy to announce that the next installment in The Witcher series of video games is currently in development, kicking off a new saga for the franchise,” it said.
“This is an exciting moment as we’re moving from REDengine to Unreal Engine 5, beginning a multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games. It covers not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine, where relevant.
“We’ll closely collaborate with Epic Games’ developers with the primary goal being to help tailor the engine for open-world experiences.”
A release timeframe for the new Witch game hasn’t been announced.
