The Witcher Remake will be open-world, according to CDPR report

According to the report, CDPR claims that The Witcher Remake is a “story-driven single-player open-world RPG, a modern reimagining of 2007’s The Witcher.” This is a slight update on what we first learned when The Witcher Remake was announced.

Does The Witcher 3 really need a next-gen update?In early October, CDPR unveiled a large number of projects that it intends to work on in the coming years. The Witcher Remake was one of them, along with a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, a free next-gen update to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, an all-new Witcher game, and an all-new IP.

It’s safe to say that fans of CDPR’s work, specifically The Witcher, are in for a lot of surprises in the coming months as these projects continue to develop.

The Witcher Remake is currently in the hands of Fool’s Theory, who worked on Seven and provided support on Outriders, Divinity Original Sin 2, and Baldur’s Gate, to name a few. Fool’s Theory is also no stranger to The Witcher series, where “veteran staff from the Witcher series are involved,” according to the original ad of the remake.

As for where development is at right now, we’re not quite sure. Details about how far along the remake is are few and far between. As of now, aside from the new detail provided by financial reports that The Witcher Remake will be open world, all we know is that the game is being remade on Unreal Engine 5.
