“The Witcher is where it all started for us, for CD Projekt Red.” The studio has formalized a remake version of its first game made: The Witcher.

In 2007, Polish developers brought to life Geralt of Rivia, the hero of The Witcher series of novels, written by Andrzej Sapkowski. This first game allowed CD Projekt Red to make a name for itself before achieving huge success a few years later, again thanks to witcher-centric titles.
To revive the first episode of The Witcher, CD Projekt Red has teamed up with another Polish development studio: Fool’s Theory. The works are in their infancy, but the studio ensures that the greatest care and attention is put into the title.
A new trilogy already announced
The Witcher Remake will be developed using the Unreal Engine 5 game engine, the latest from game publisher Epic Games. Still in its infancy, this technology already promises greater realism and greater creative possibilities for developers. The Unreal Engine 5 game engine will also be used to craft a new The Witcher trilogy, as announced in early October.
Adapted as a series by Netflix, the literary saga has become an institution in Poland. The country also has an official school to learn how to hunt monsters, like the hero of the books. But CD Projekt Red warns that you will have to be patient before you can discover The Witcher Remake controller in your hand.
