A new Witcher game has just been teased via the official Witcher Twitter account today. The post shows an image of a Witcher necklace partially covered in the snow, alongside the words “A new saga begins”, indicating the start of a whole new narrative set within the beloved franchise.
The post also links to a news post on the CD Projeckt Red website, where it is revealed that this new Witcher game will be created with Unreal Engine 5, as opposed to the in-house REDengine.
The use of Unreal Engine 5 also comes with a multi-year partnership between CD Projeckt Red and Epic Games, which apparently “covers not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine, where relevant.”
