CD Projekt Red will be giving the beloved 2007 Witcher game a fresh new look.

Announced today, the first game in the Witcher series is getting remade from the ground up thanks to Unreal Engine 5 technology. Fool’s Theory will be developing the remake. The studio has former staff members from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Adam Badowski, Head of Studio, CD PROJEKT RED said this about the remake:

“The Witcher is where it all started for us, for CD PROJEKT RED. It was the first game we made, ever, and it was a big moment for us then. Going back to this place and remaking the game for the next generation of gamers to experience it feels just as big, if not bigger. Collaborating with Fool’s Theory on the project is just as exciting, as some of the people there have been previously involved in The Witcher games. They know the source material well, they know how much gamers have been looking forward to seeing the remake happen, and they know how to make incredible and ambitious games. And although it will take some time before we’re ready to share more about and from the game, I know it’ll be worth the wait.”

Jakub Rokosz, CEO, Fool’s Theory also said:

"I am very happy that my professional paths have crossed again with fellow developers from the time of working together on The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. Especially when it's a remake of a project that is so close to our hearts. We are excited to join forces with CD PROJEKT RED, and our goal is to give players another great game from the iconic Witcher series."

No estimated release window for the Witcher remake has been released yet. CD Projekt Red are also working on the fourth installment of the Witcher franchise, which has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.
