Geralt’s English voice actor, Doug Cockle, has confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will return in the new Witcher game. However, the upcoming game won’t focus on Geralt as the protagonist. The new game is being developed in collaboration with Epic Games and will use Unreal Engine 5 instead of REDengine.
CD PROJEKT RED’s Chief Technology Officer, Paweł Zawodny, explained that the decision to use Unreal Engine 5 for the new Witcher game and future projects is part of the company’s renewed focus on technology. The partnership with Epic Games allows for better predictability, efficiency, and access to industry-leading tools. Zawodny expressed excitement about using Unreal Engine 5 for the new game.
