CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has been under scrutiny for its ambitious plans to release three Witcher sequels within a mere six years, despite a decade-long gap since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The studio's recent earnings call revealed a strategic shift towards the Unreal Engine, which could expedite development and enhance the quality of the upcoming games. CDPR's Vice President of Business Development, Michał Nowakowski, expressed confidence in the engine's capabilities, citing its ability to streamline development and provide access to cutting-edge tools. This transition is seen as a response to the technical challenges faced with Cyberpunk 2077, which were partly attributed to the REDEngine's streaming system. Nowakowski's statement suggests a more rapid release schedule, aiming to launch the entire trilogy within six years, with shorter development times between each installment. However, it's important to note that the timeline starts from the release of The Witcher 4, indicating a potential delay in the overall release schedule. This move has sparked curiosity and speculation among fans, who eagerly await the next chapter in the Witcher saga, while also questioning the feasibility of such a tight release window.
