The remake was previously called "Canis Majoris" - one of five Witcher games CDPR wants to release in the coming years. The game's atmosphere, characters, and morally gray nonlinear storyline helped it stand out from other RPGs, eventually spawning two sequels along with the new trilogy CDPR has in development. Despite being rough around the edges in its graphics, pacing, and user interface, The Witcher had enough endearing qualities to make it a success. The Witcher was the game that transformed CDPR from a Polish localization house into a world-famous game studio.
An Unreal Engine 5 remake should offer a transformational increase in visual detail while possibly getting CDPR comfortable with the technology it plans to use for future projects. Even in 2007, the Witcher didn't have the best graphics around (the infamous processor-melting Crysis came out that year), though it did impressive things with the graphics engine BioWare designed for Neverwinter Nights. The 15-year-old RPG also clearly shows its age. Console users who jumped into the series with the much more popular Witcher 3 will have a chance to investigate its predecessor for the first time. The cult hit that started the now-popular game franchise which then led to one of Netflix's biggest hits might be one of the best examples of a game that needs a remake.įor starters, it's the only Witcher title still exclusive to the PC after earlier plans for a console port fell through. The title is still in early development, so fans won't see it for a while, and CDPR isn't ready to share more details on it yet.
Polish studio Fool's Theory is developing the project from the ground up on Unreal Engine 5 with CDPR staff involvement. This week, CD Projekt Red confirmed it's overseeing a remake of the original 2007 Witcher game. The company hasn't offered many details on the title yet, but revisiting its first game makes sense for multiple reasons. What just happened? CD Projekt Red has finally started to shed light on one of the projects it announced earlier this month - a remake of the first Witcher game.
