Carried by the Unreal Engine 5, The Witcher 4 may still be a huge graphic slap, taking into account the new advances in the Epic Games engine.
After the exit of the already magnificent Cyberpunk 2077but with very complicated development, CD Projekt Red decided to go to theUnreal Engine 5 To propel its future games. The standard bearer of this transition is of course The Witcher 4. This also serves a double goal: to facilitate the work of the developers of the Polish studio, and make the engine more effective on titles in open world. This is precisely one of the main advances in its 5.6 version, now available in the form of preview.
The Witcher 4 and the Unreal Engine 5: Hand development in hand
Entering the full production phase in the middle of last year, The Witcher 4 should not be released before 2027/2028, as soon as possible. CD Projekt Red wants to take all the time necessary for this new saga to Ciri controls in the best possible conditions. To do this, the Polish studio counts in particular on the Unreal Engine 5, a much less recalcitrant engine than the Red Engine, its house engine abandoned since Cyberpunk 2077.
The Unreal Engine 5 will also pass by soon in version 5.6. This will offer many new features, including ” large, high -fidelity open worlds, with maximum performance at 60 constant fps “, the ability to create such worlds ” faster with a more powerful procedural workflow »or Meta Human’s in-engine additionthe impressive creator of engine characters. So many new features that will therefore benefit the Witcher 4.
As soon as its transition was announced to Unreal Engine 5, CD Projekt Red had indicated that this allowed Epic Games to develop the capacities of its engine to create superb open worlds, with good performance. The fruit of this collaboration This is therefore reflected in particular by this future version 5.6. Given the time that separates us from the release of The Witcher 4, we can expect even further developments in this sense in the years to come. The rest of The Witcher 3 could therefore still put our eyes on it. Hoping that it will be the same for optimization, with as little bugs as possible, to avoid a new launch at Cyberpunk 2077.
