The Witcher 4 shows its new techniques on the Unreal Engine 5
Last month, the Unreal Engine 5 offered itself a preview of its version 5.6 future. Among his new features, we could remember ” large, high -gidelity open worlds, with maximum performance at 60 constant fps », The ability to create them faster, and the In-Engine addition of Meta Human, the impressive creator of engine characters.

CD Projekt Red thus went on stage on the occasion of the State of Unreal 2025 to present all of this in more detail. Upstream of the conference, the Polish studio had indeed indicated that it would spoil a presentation to highlight the innovative technologies and features of the Unreal Engine 5 which will propel the Witcher 4. You can therefore see the result via the video below, and the least that can be said is that it very pleasantly flatters the retina.
The presentation therefore started with a convoy which is attacked by a watch, before Ciri left on his traces accompanied by his faithful Destrier Kelpie. After a transition from Gameplay kinematics that clearly makes your mouth water, CD Projekt announced the color: The gameplay demo runs on a standard PS5 at 60 fps with Raytracing.

For this, however, it will be necessary to be patient, the title does not have to go out before 2027/2028as soon as possible.
