The Witcher 4 Will Reportedly Be Bigger Than The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, CD Projekt RED’s vice president of technology Charles Tremblay stated that Unreal Engine 5 will allow the upcoming Witcher title to be “better, bigger, greater” than The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. “I will not say it’s easy, but I think that we have some cool stuff going, and hopefully that will have some good showcase [of the technology],” Tremblay said. “The only thing I will say is that changing the tech for us does not change the fact that we always will be ambitious. And the next game we do will not be smaller, and it will not be worse. So it will be better, bigger, greater than The Witcher 3, it will be better than Cyberpunk – because for us, it’s unacceptable [to launch that way]. We don’t want to go back.In the same interview, Charles Tremblay claimed that The title will be revealed much closer to release.“To be honest, when we were kicking off the marketing campaign officially with pre-orders, which was the Keanu on stage [moment, at E3 in June 2019],” he said. “the plan was actually to launch roughly one year later. It just didn’t really work. So we didn’t really plan for like a two-year campaign, and I still think that one year would really be fine [in terms of] time for a promotional campaign of that game.” “[We] learned a lot of good practices from that experience: so announce the date when you’re like really, really sure of it,” he continued. “And now I think we have much better tools to be sure of that date, which we – on a smaller scale – proved to ourselves with Phantom Liberty.”
