CD Projekt RED has made it a behavior out of crafting large, extremely detailed open world experiences, and as youβd anticipate, the developer doesnβt intend to buck the pattern with its subsequent sport,Β The Witcher 4, which has now entered full manufacturing. Actually, if something, you may anticipate it to be a fair greater and extra formidable title than the studioβs earlier open world megatons.
Talking in a latest interview with Eurogamer, CD Projekt REDβs vp of expertise Charles Tremblay touched on the identical, explaining that the studioβs present tech foundations β after having adopted Unreal Engine 5 as its most important manufacturing toolset β will allow it to make sure that its subsequent undertaking is βhigher, greater, betterβ thanΒ The Witcher 3Β andΒ Cyberpunk 2077. And naturally, as youβd think about, the studio additionally desires to make sure it avoids one other disastrous launch likeΒ Cyberpunk 2077.
βI cannot say itβs simple, however I believe that we’ve got some cool stuff going, and hopefully that may have some good showcase [of the technology],β Tremblay stated. βThe one factor I’ll say is that altering the tech for us doesn’t change the truth that we all the time can be formidable. And the following sport we do is not going to be smaller, and it’ll not be worse. So will probably be higher, greater, better than The Witcher 3, will probably be higher than Cyberpunk β as a result of for us, itβs unacceptable [to launch that way]. We donβt wish to return.
βEven when there can be some βsweaty momentsβ and perhaps even some unhealthy stuff occurring, nonetheless, I believe that we are going to strive every thing we will to make it much more than what we achieved up to now years. So the expertise shouldn’t be a blocker for us, mainly.β
By way of dimension,Β Cyberpunk 2077βsΒ world was decidedly smaller thanΒ The Witcher 3βs,Β although with each video games, CD Projekt RED crafted large and dense play areas that have been packed stuffed with sufficient content material to maintain gamers occupied for dozens upon dozens of hours, even with out their expansions included. That the studio intends to do one thing comparable with its subsequent undertaking doesnβt come as a large shock.
It should, nevertheless, be some time earlier than we study rather more aboutΒ The Witcher 4. Although CDPR may drop the odd crumb right here and there, donβt anticipate it to be absolutely unveiled till itβs a couple of yr or so away from launch.
