At Unreal Fest in Orlando, CD Projekt showed off some new footage from the Witcher 4. While this is not Cyberpunk news, it’s related, as we know the next game will be using Unreal.
The video shows footage of the Kovir region, which has not been seen before. Jump ahead to about 30 minutes in, and you can see it in action. The town scene is impressive with a decent-sized crowd, which bodes well for Cyberpunk 2.
It’s a seriously impressive tech demo, and even though it’s not Cyberpunk, it’s another Witcher game which can only be a good thing.
Since the strategic partnership was announced in 2022, CDPR has been working with Epic Games to develop new tools and enhance existing features in Unreal Engine 5 to expand the engine’s open-world development capabilities and establish robust tools geared toward CD PROJEKT RED’s open-world design philosophies. The demo, which runs on a PlayStation 5 at 60 frames per second, shows off in-engine capabilities set in the world of The Witcher 4, including the new Unreal Animation Framework, Nanite Foliage rendering, MetaHuman technology with Mass AI crowd scaling, and more. The tools showcased are being developed, tested, and eventually released to all UE developers, starting with today’s Unreal Engine 5.6 release. This will help other studios create believable and immersive open-world environments that deliver performance at 60 FPS without compromising on quality., even at vast scales. While the presentation was running on a PlayStation console, the features and technology will be supported across all platforms the game will launch on.
