A New Saga Begins

[Alicja.]

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.

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.

At this point, no further details regarding the game — such as a development time frame or release date — are available.

REDengine, the technology which powers Cyberpunk 2077, is still being used for the development of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion.

*Update*: We are not planning on making the game exclusive to one storefront.

Why did you put VK into the "share" section? with all due respect, don't you think it's a little bit hypocritical?

I can see the CDPR sale to Tencent looming in the distance.

As if they needed to fall further from the light.

Awesome!! Unreal engine 5 is an incredible engine and I'm super hyped to see how this will look on it!

All I want to know is if it has Character Creation. I didn't like any of the previous games because i had to play Geralt.
The RED engine wasn't great for modding in your own character creation. At most the mods let you replace Geralt with the model of another character in the game.

Would be a shame but as a Sony user that's better than being gobbled up by Microsoft

Is that an amulet for School of the Cat?

 

[MrGuyton]

Is that a cat head?

I prefer the opposite, because with predefined character I separate myself from character and make choice that I would rather not to.

Don't be Fortnite launcher exclusive please

 

[Mobster100]

Just read that the CDPR have announced the development of the next Witcher game in collaboration or using Unreal 5 engine. Think that is very good news

 

[Andrew_Waples]

I just hope this doesn't take 10 years to come out...
