The Witcher Remake Is an Open-World “Reimagining,” But It Won’t Arrive for Years

CD Projekt Red has reiterated that the recently announced remake of The Witcher will be an open world game in its most recent investors report. Additionally, it’s being referred to as a “contemporary reinterpretation” of the 2007 game, which is not entirely unexpected given how clunky Geralt’s first adventure is by today’s standards.

The Witcher’s first game does have a few open environments, but it’s definitely not a “open world.” This decision makes sense given the popularity of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CDPR’s first open world game, even if it’s important to note that CDPR isn’t handling the remake. It has been transferred to fellow Polish firm Fool’s Theory, which employs former The Witcher creators. Everything has come full circle.

However, it will be a while before we actually get to see this remake in action. The project is still in its very early phases of development, and CDPR has all but confirmed that its release is at least several years away. By the way, it’s being developed using Unreal Engine 5 and will use the same technology that CDPR is utilizing for their brand-new The Witcher series.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.

E3 is long gone, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have any exciting video game events this summer.

In a recent tweet, Keighley assured his followers that a large number of fans will be present at the event, both in person and online.
