After communicating earlier in the year about the development of the next installment in the series The Witcherthen on the port of The Witcher 3 on next gen, CD Projekt Red still has some news in store. Thus, it has just been announced that a remake of The Witcher was under development.
The game at the origin of the franchise will therefore benefit from a total reconstruction on Unreal Engine 5. And it is the Polish studio Fool’s Theory which is in charge of the development of this remake. With the added bonus of some veteran staff from the Witcher series. CD Projekt Red, meanwhile, say they will be there to provide full creative oversight.
But if the publisher is happy to announce the existence of The Witcher Remakewhich some already know under the code name Canis Majoris, do not expect more information at this time. Indeed, the creation of the title is likely to require a lot of time from the teams which are currently only in the early stages of development. It will therefore be necessary to be patient, if only to have more details on the project.
” The Witcher is where it all started for us, for CD PROJEKT RED. It was the first game we made, and it was a big moment for us at the time. Going back and remaking the game for the next generation of players to experience feels just as great, if not greater.. »
