CD Projekt Red is using Epic's Unreal Engine 5 to power The Witcher 4, but the developer's partnership with Epic is actually a multi-year deal that sees the company collaborate closely with Epic on the tech. As part of Epic's State of Unreal event today, developers from CD Projekt Red discussed why they are ditching their internal engine, the RedEngine, for Unreal Engine 5 to make The Witcher 4.
CDPR CTO Pawel Zawodny said Unreal Engine 5's updates help with the kind of open-world game development that the Polish studio is known for, and this was a major selling point. «This opens a new chapter for us, where we really want to see how our experience building open-world games is combined with the engineering power of Epic,» Zawodny said.
