CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has shifted its focus to the The Witcher 4 project, codenamed “Polaris,” after completing the development and maintenance of Cyberpunk 2077. This new project will be the first game in the series developed using Unreal Engine 5, with over 400 people currently working on it.
Epic Games to Address Unreal Engine 5 Issues for The Witcher 4
The Witcher 4 is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, which has raised concerns among some fans due to known freezing and performance issues. However, CDPR aims to address these problems by collaborating with Epic Games to improve the engine and eliminate these freezing issues. These enhancements will benefit not only The Witcher 4 but also all games using Unreal Engine 5.
Digital Foundry has noted that if there is a team capable of solving Unreal Engine 5’s freezing issues, it is CDPR. The CDPR team acknowledges these issues and is working hard with Epic to minimize them.
The Witcher 4 will differentiate itself from previous titles with new game elements and mechanics. While detailed information about these new features has not been provided, it is known that CDPR is striving to offer players a different and innovative experience.
Using Unreal Engine 5 for this new project, CDPR aims to deliver a superior experience in both visuals and performance, which is quite exciting. As development progresses, we eagerly await more details about this new adventure.
