What Actually Survived? Insider Reveals the Games That Escaped Ubisoft's Major Cancellation

The Final Boss of The Witcher 4 Development is the Unreal Engine 5

The impressive tech demo for The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5 has not only sparked admiration but also serious concerns among experts. Behind the promises of high detail and performance, they see a potential threat to the project.

The key problem could be the engine itself. The industry has yet to see a seamless open world of this scale on UE5 that works flawlessly. The engine is known for issues with asset streaming in large locations.

CD Projekt RED faces the task of adapting Epic's technology for its massive RPG and avoiding a situation where the release fails to live up to the expectations set by the demo. The Witcher 4 will become a crucial test for Unreal Engine 5 in the genre of large-scale role-playing games.
