However, that leaves many unanswered questions for fans of the series. With the new engine running the game, fans can expect the upcoming title to look better than ever, and it will likely allow players to feel more in touch with the game's world.
The partnership between Epic and CD Projeckt Red is an exciting one
"This is an exciting moment as we’re moving from REDengine to Unreal Engine 5, beginning a multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games. It covers not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine, where relevant."
The strategic partnership between Epic and CD Projekt Red is sure to turn a few heads. Having developers of this caliber combine forces and work through the changes to move the game from the original REDengine to the anticipated Unreal Engine 5 is an exciting step. This should improve the visual storytelling capabilities and make the open-world feel even more epic.
There are no specific details regarding the game's development timetable or release
