Mora se nastaviti dalje, nove vesti ovih dana od CD PROJEKT-a

Spoiler

CD PROJEKT RED today revealed that the next installment in The Witcher series of video games is currently in development with Unreal Engine 5, kicking off a new saga for the franchise and a new technology partnership with Epic Games.

Today’s announcement marks the first official confirmation of a new game in The Witcher series since the release of CD PROJEKT RED’s previous single-player, AAA RPG in the franchise — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — which won a total of 250 Game of the Year awards and was later expanded upon with the Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine add-ons.

The teaser image for the new game features a medallion, accompanied by the phrase A New Saga Begins. Beyond this initial confirmation of a new saga in The Witcher franchise, no further details — such as a development time frame or release date — were provided.

CD PROJEKT RED also announced that they will be moving to Unreal Engine 5 as part of the multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games. Since The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, released in 2011, CD PROJEKT RED has used their proprietary REDengine technology to build their games. This new relationship with Epic covers not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine, where relevant. Developers from CD PROJEKT RED will collaborate with those from Epic with the primary goal being to help tailor the engine for open-world experiences, beginning with the development of the next game in The Witcher franchise.

Speaking on the use of Unreal Engine 5 for this, and future games, CTO of CD PROJEKT RED, Paweł Zawodny stated:

“One of the core aspects of our internal RED 2.0 Transformation is a much stronger focus on technology, and our cooperation with Epic Games is based on this principle. From the outset, we did not consider a typical licensing arrangement; both we and Epic see this as a long-term, fulfilling tech partnership. It is vital for CD PROJEKT RED to have the technical direction of our next game decided from the earliest possible phase as; in the past, we spent a lot of resources and energy to evolve and adapt REDengine with every subsequent game release. This cooperation is so exciting, because it will elevate development predictability and efficiency, while simultaneously granting us access to cutting-edge game development tools. I can’t wait for the great games we’re going to create using Unreal Engine 5!”

Tim Sweeney, Founder and CEO of Epic Games, remarked about the partnership:

“Epic has been building Unreal Engine 5 to enable teams to create dynamic open worlds at an unprecedented scale and level of fidelity. We are deeply honored by the opportunity to partner with CD PROJEKT RED to push the limits of interactive storytelling and gameplay together, and this effort will benefit the developer community for years to come.”

Simultaneously with these announcements, CD PROJEKT RED also provided confirmation that REDengine, the technology which powers Cyberpunk 2077, is still being used for the development of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion.

Najbolja vest od svega je što će da koriste Unreal Engine naravno 🙂 Ok je ovaj njihov ali ne može se porediti sa Unrealom šta god da oni kažu.

Tako da u tom smislu će najverovatnije biti bolji potez.

A i sad će EPIC imati pristup veći Witcheru za Fortnite 😛

UE je sjajan posao napravio - uzimaju 5% kad igra prođe milion prodatih primeraka $ revenue A zauzvrat ne samo što ti daju gotov, ažuran engine, nego lakše nalaziš iskusne developere, i lakše i brže razviješ igru.

Posle razvojnog pakla sa CP2077 totalno razumem zašto su napustili svoj engine.

Pomenuli su da najverovatnije neće biti Epic ekskluziva, ali videćemo.

Nego, vidim da se pominje School of the Lynx. Da li je to potvrđeno?

Medved, Vuk, Zmija, Mantikora i Ždral nisu. Ako je iz kanona, onda možda redizajnirana Mačka ili Grifon?

"mala" ispravka, milion dolara revenue 🙂

[Zwerko]

Cenim da ta margina ne pogađa CDPR previše 🙂

S tim da mislim da je deo problema sa CP2077 definitivno bio i taj engine, i da šta god treba da kastomizuju u UE5 će sigurno biti mnogo lakše nego ponovo budžiti taj engine koji im je već fejlovao koliko je budžen za prethodnu igru.

Pravo da vam kažem, voleo bih da nastave Geraltovu priču. Ako ne, onda možda nekog novog lika da ubace, nisam nešto za Siri.

[leisure]

Slazem se. Siri je OP, ako ne moze Geralt, onda neko ko ne moze da se teleportuje 5 puta za dve sekunde u borbi.
Deluje mi da je Feline.

[manson]

Ideeeemoooooooo

 

Valjda neće da useru, mnogo 🙂

Par stvari što znamo do sada:

• Prešli su sa in-house engine na UE5, što je super jer im dozvoljava da razvijaju brže na moćnijem engineu
• Sebastian Kalemba vodi Witcher development (Animation Director na W3 i CP2077), Philipp Weber je Narrative Director (Quest Designer na W3 i CP2077), generalno je većina stare ekipe na okupu
• Premašili su hiring cilj, i umesto 330 imaju tim od 400 ljudi
• Već 2 godine aktivno rade
