The Witcher 4 Casts a Long Shadow, Forcing CDPR to Quietly Halt the Remake of the Original
Key Points:
- CD Projekt Red is expanding The Witcher 3 next year with the Songs of the Past expansion, developed by Fool's Theory, focusing on Geralt's final adventure in Letten, Dandelion's homeland.
- Fool's Theory is also working on The Witcher 1 Remake, but its development has been paused due to technical dependencies related to the transition to Unreal Engine 5, which will power The Witcher 4 and future CDPR games.
- CD Projekt Red assures fans that despite switching from their RED Engine to Unreal Engine 5, the new games will retain the distinctive CDPR feel and quality, dispelling concerns about a generic Unreal Engine look.
- Alongside the expansion and upcoming The Witcher 4, CDPR will release The Witcher 3 Remastered on September 29 as a free update, featuring major visual, quality of life, and combat improvements to enhance the classic game's experience.
