Mercury33 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Awesome! Given Ciri’s extra powers and her ability to “travel” I’m hoping it’s centered around her. And if you think they’re making a Witcher game just because of Cyberpunk then you haven’t been paying attention to them at all. It was always implied that Geralts story was over but they’d be returning to the Witchers world. Witcher 3 is one of the best games of all time. That talent is still there and they’re returning to a genre they have way more experience with. I’m super psyched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 I'm guessing this is going to focus on all-new characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Is Unreal Engine 5 really the best choice for the next Witcher game? (Eurogamer) Quote From the perspective of the staff members at Digital Foundry, this is not the best news and while it's clear that there are reasons why CDPR has moved on, the end of development on a hugely impressive independent engine is a blow. After all, REDengine in its various guises has produced a visually unique presentation that has undoubtedly helped to shape some brilliant games. Going all the way back to The Witcher 2, CDPR delivered a title quite unlike any other that genuinely pushed back barriers - a game that still looks brilliant today. Environment detail, lighting, character rendering and post-processing were well ahead of their time. The Witcher 2 launched during the PS3/Xbox 360 era yet from a technological perspective, it was a class apart, a generation beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, before this confirmation, the School of the Lynx only ever existed in fan fiction. But it would now appear that CDPR was inspired by its Witcher community, and as a result is building this new school into its video game series. So, we have an idea of how CDPR came up with its version of School of the Lynx, but what about the fan fiction project's creators themselves? Chatting to Eurogamer, School of the Lynx author SMiki55 gave more insight on how they came up with the story behind their piece of Witcher lore.

TwinIon Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 From that Eurogamer article: Quote Wronksi says that aside from some rendering systems, REDengine was effectively re-written from scratch between titles and goes on to suggest that the process of engine development would need to reset again moving from Cyberpunk 2077 to the new Witcher title. Yeesh. That makes the move to UE5 seem like a reasonable decision, especially if, as Eurogamer suggests, CDPR will be contributing their obvious expertise to the core of UE5. Nothing in that article made me think that moving to UE5 will necessary speed up development for this first game, but it could be a good long term investment.
