CD Projekt Red has announced a full remake of the first Witcher game is in production.
Earlier this month, the developer unveiled its forthcoming plans, including a Witcher project called Canis Majoris by a third-party.
Turns out that’s a remake of the first Witcher game, developed by Fool’s Theory with supervision by CD Projekt Red.
The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5, sharing the same tool set as the new upcoming Witcher trilogy. It’s unclear which platforms the game will be released on.
The first Witcher game was released for PC in 2007, followed by an Enhanced Edition in 2008.
“The Witcher is where it all started for us, for CD Projekt Red. It was the first game we made, ever, and it was a big moment for us then. Going back to this place and updating the game for the next generation of gamers to experience it is just as big, if not bigger,” said Adam Badowski, head of studio at CD Projekt Red.
