Also,The Witcher 4is set to use new technology based on Unreal Engine 5, asannounced by CD Projekt Red in a poston its official website. The studio is also developing new technology based on Epic Games’ flagship game engine.
Polariswill continue the trilogy story right where it ended with the third game. The third game in the series is an absolute masterpiece, widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time. The stakes are undoubtedly high for the studio as it prepares to reach for the stars and fortify its historical place.

While it is relatively uncertain whatPolariswill do differently and how it will carry on Geralt’s tale, there is hardly any information regarding the title because it seems to be in very early stages, as reports suggest.
It will be interesting to see if the studio can avoid anotherCyberpunk 2077launch situation with the title, especially because Unreal Engine 5 has been infamous for introducing some hassles in the development process.
