The franchise has grown from a cult following in Central and Eastern Europe into something of a national treasure for Poland, particularly after the mainstream exposure granted by the three video games, also developed by a Polish studio.


The Witcher is an adaptation of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s series of fantasy novels by the same name, published between 19. “Going back to this place and remaking the game for the next generation of gamers to experience, it feels just as big, if not bigger.” The Witcher “was the first game we made, ever, and it was a big moment for us then,” Adam Badowski, CD Projekt Red’s head of studio, said in a statement. The publisher has also scheduled three more all-new sequels for The Witcher, beginning with one code-named “Polaris.” No release window has been given for Polaris, but CD Projekt said the three sequels, which will also be developed in Unreal 5, will launch over a six-year span. Fool’s Theory’s developers also worked on 2011’s The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and 2015’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt CD Projekt Red, the the trilogy’s original developer, will be “providing full creative supervision,” the publisher added.ĬD Projekt’s statement confirmed that The Witcher Remake is the project codenamed “Canis Majoris” that was revealed at the beginning of October. The Witcher Remake is being made in Unreal Engine 5 at Fool’s Theory, a Poland-based studio that has supported triple-A RPG development since its founding in 2015. The Witcher, CD Projekt’s debut work from 2007, which also inaugurated a best-selling, critically acclaimed RPG trilogy, will be remade “from the ground up” in Unreal Engine 5, the publisher announced on Wednesday.
