CD Projekt announces the remake of the first The Witcher movie – News

For the least secret compared to its sequels and especially The Witcher 3 which brought the Polish studio to another dimension with 30 million copies sold, the first The Witcher will be completely rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5. Already busy with several projects (The Witcher) Cyberpunk 2077 expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 Next, The Next Witcher, New License…), CD Projekt will not be interested in the project internally and has entrusted it to Fool’s Theory studio, founded by the elders of the house. However, on a technical level, this new version of The Witcher plans to use the same engine and the same tools used to create the next part of the saga, codenamed Polaris. As a reminder, the latter will be the start of a whole new trilogy. The Witcher Remake is still in the early stages of development, and has no release date.

“The Witcher is the project that started it all for us, for CD PROJEKT RED. It’s our first game, and it was a big moment for us at the time. Going back to that time and recreating the game for the next generation of gamers to experience is a huge deal for us, maybe even more so. The collaboration with Fool’s Theory on the project is equally exciting, as some of the people there have been involved in developing The Witcher games. They know the source material very well, they know how many players are waiting for this new version, and they know how to make amazing and ambitious games. And although it will be some time before we are ready to share more about the game, I know the wait is worth it.“, to me hung Adam Padowsky, studio director.

Acquired earlier this year by 11-bit studios, Fool’s Theory debuted with RPG Seven: The Days Long Gone before playing co-developers on titles like Outriders and Baldur’s Gate 3. as well as The Witcher Remake The studio is working hard on an ambitious RPG currently known as Project Vitriol.
