CD Projekt RED has made it a behavior out of crafting large, extremely detailed open world experiences, and as you’d anticipate, the developer doesn’t intend to buck the pattern with its subsequent sport, 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 studio’s earlier open world megatons.
Talking in a latest interview with Eurogamer, CD Projekt RED’s vp of expertise Charles Tremblay touched on the identical, explaining that the studio’s present tech foundations – after having adopted Unreal Engine 5 as its most important manufacturing toolset – will allow it to make sure that its subsequent undertaking is “higher, greater, better” than The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. And naturally, as you’d think about, the studio additionally desires to make sure it avoids one other disastrous launch like Cyberpunk 2077.
“I cannot say it’s simple, however I believe that we’ve got some cool stuff going, and hopefully that may have some good showcase [of the technology],” Tremblay stated. “The 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 – as a result of for us, it’s unacceptable [to launch that way]. We don’t wish to return.
“Even when there can be some ‘sweaty moments’ 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.”
By way of dimension, Cyberpunk 2077’s world was decidedly smaller than The Witcher 3’s, 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 doesn’t come as a large shock.
It should, nevertheless, be some time earlier than we study rather more about The Witcher 4. Although CDPR may drop the odd crumb right here and there, don’t anticipate it to be absolutely unveiled till it’s a couple of yr or so away from launch.
