Publisher CD Projekt RED and developer Fool’s Theory have announced a remake of the original The Witcher. The first game in the series will be developed with Unreal Engine 5. The Witcher Remake is currently being developed through Fool’s Theory, which includes people who have previously worked on The Witcher series. The remake is still in the early stages of development.
Adam Badowski, CD Projekt RED studio president, said: “The Witcher is where it all began, both for us and for CD Projekt RED. It’s the first game we’ve ever made, and it was a huge moment for us at the time. Going back to this place and remaking the game for a new generation of players to experience feels just as exciting. It’s just as gratifying to collaborate with Fool’s Theory on the project. It’s too early to share more about and about the game. But I know it’s worth the wait.”
Jakub Rokosz, CEO of Fool’s Theory, added: “I’ve had a lot of people working with on The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. Now, I’m so glad that my path crosses again with professional developers. We’re excited to join forces with CD Projekt RED, and our goal is to bring gamers another great game from the iconic Witcher series.”
CD Projekt RED announced The Witcher Remake that the game is still in development.
