There's plenty in store for fans of the popular series, as the next Witcher title, codenamed Polaris, is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and two more installments will be released six years after the release of the next game alongside The Witcher Remake.
Coming back to The Witcher Remake, the project was previously codenamed Project Canis Majoris. It was also developed in Unreal Engine 5 by Fool's Theory, a third-party studio that includes many of the series' previous developers. Unlike the original release, the title will feature an open world.
It may be some time before it sees the light of day. In CD Projekt Group's Q3 2022 report, President and CEO Adam Kiesinski confirmed that The Witcher Remake will be released after The Witcher 4.
As for the remake after Polaris, it's a result of how we think about this project. I think The Witcher Remake is largely based on Polaris technologies, so it will be developed in part in parallel with Polaris. But once Polaris is released, everything we did for the Polaris project will already exist and will be partially reused in the new version.
If the new version really does adapt to the technologies used in Polaris, the gap between versions may not be that long. Time will tell eventually, so stay tuned for more details.
Unfortunately, there are no photos or videos of this new version yet, but we invite players to stay tuned because the team will do everything in its power to highlight a strong product. Do you really think we will see a tangible change in gameplay beyond the graphics?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition launches on December 14, bringing the popular RPG to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 with next-gen features and enhanced visuals.
