CD Projekt believes that The Witcher game series will be well developed in the coming years thanks to Unreal Engine 5.
It’s been months since CD Projekt announced that it was abandoning RED’s proprietary game engine to make new Witcher games; to take advantage of Unreal Engine 5, the popular gaming engine of Epic Games. Now the creators of the new main game Witcher have talked more about the positive impact of Unreal Engine 5 on its production.
CD Projekt wants this The Witcher game, which is currently only known by the code name Project Polaris, to start a trilogy with only 6 years between the release of the first and third part. This happens only if the CD Projekt RED studio optimizes the process of making its games to the point where the least possible budget and efforts are wasted in this process; So that all work can be done without problems as quickly as possible with maximum efficiency. Now, CD Projekt says that it can do exactly that thanks to Unreal Engine 5’s features and tools, with ideal organization and all the necessary capabilities.
Adam KiczynskiCEO of the Polish company CD Projekt explained that the production team is still busy getting to know more about Unreal Engine 5. In fact, he doesn’t expect that the use of the UE5 game engine will make Project Polaris itself produced much faster, but rather thinks that producing the first part of the trilogy with Unreal Engine 5 will pave the way for a smoother and lag-free production of its sequels.
“We’re preparing different things,” Kicinski said. Both the tools and the production line. Some game developers are still learning the technology [آنریل انجین 5] are, and at the same time there are teams working with Epic on all aspects needed to produce our open-world narrative role-playing games.
Undoubtedly for the first project [که توسط ما با آنریل انجین 5 تولید میشود، انتظار داریم که] Likely [استفاده از UE5] It won’t slow down the construction processes, but it won’t speed them up. But for the next projects, we think that it will make the production smoother. This was one of the reasons that [توانستیم اعلام کنیم که] We want to release three big Witcher games in 6 years; [دوران ۶سالهای] which starts with the release of Polaris or the Witcher 4″.
It should not be forgotten that CD Projekt is also working on the remake of the first The Witcher game in collaboration with Fool’s Theory studio; In the form of a completely open-world game, which is also made with Unreal Engine 5. It is expected that the remake of the first game of The Witcher will reach gamers after the game of Witcher 4.
