The Witcher 3 was released in 2015, and it catapulted the Witcher franchise to unprecedented levels of success. Since then, the franchise has continued to grow with various expansions and a TV show. 

Recently, CD Projekt Red announced its plans for the franchise’s future. Multiple games were announced, hinting a bright future for the Witcher games. The developer has provided some details on one of these projects, confirming a remake of the original Witcher game. 

The project is currently led by a Polish studio, Fool’s Theory. Fans will be glad to know that CD Projekt Red is providing creative supervision to the project, and Fool’s Theory is also home to several veteran Witcher developers.

This should mean that the upcoming remake is in safe hands. The Witcher Remake will also utilize Unreal Engine 5, similar to the rest of CD Projekt Red’s upcoming titles. The developers have also expressed their excitement at the announcement, showing their willingness to respect the details of the original title.

However, fans will have to wait a while before providing further information. Judging by the scale of the upcoming remake, fans should not expect to learn too many details anytime soon. 

CD Projekt Red is also working on an official sequel to the beloved Witcher 3. The anticipated Witcher Season 3 will return in 2023, adding to the franchise’s excitement. 

A remake of the original Witcher title will likely be a brand-new experience for many fans of the franchise, and it looks like CDPR does not intend to disappoint. The Witcher 3 has raised the bar for the open-world RPG genre, but it remains to be seen if the upcoming remake can live up to the franchise’s recent success.
