“Our Story Is Not Over Yet” – Fans are Thrilled as CD Projekt Red Announces a Remake of The Witcher on Unreal Engine 5

The Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red revealed five projects, three of which were related to the fan-favorite Witcher series. It seemed like the developers wanted to squeeze out every ounce of content from their most successful series.

There was a heads-up about CD Projekt RED working on a game separate from the new Witcher trilogy storyline. And they codenamed it “Canis Majoris.” Moreover, it would be developed by an external studio, while CD Project RED members who worked on previous Witcher titles would head them. Now, the game developers have unveiled more information about Canis Majoris.

Canis Majoris is no more a secret

The Polish developers announced their primary focus would be on the project “Polaris,” which would begin a new journey of a new character. However, there was also Canis Majoris, which had no connection to Polaris. So many thought it could be a spin-off game for the Witcher series. It might revolve around a famous character from the original game, like Ciri or Yennefer.

But the latest revelation by the CD Projekt RED confirmed it is not a spin-off but a retelling of the original Witcher game. So, in short, Canis Majoris is the remake of The Witcher. Moreover, the external studio they shared that would work on this game is Fool’s Theory. These developers have also worked on projects like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and Outriders.
