CDPR confirms plans to present Witcher 4 tech at State of Unreal this week

Back in 2022, CD Projekt Red arrived at Unreal Fest, armed with the first teaser image for The Witcher 4. During that event, we learned that CD Projekt Red was switching to Unreal Engine 5 for future titles. Now, the studio is returning to Unreal Fest, with a new look at the technology going into the game. 

CD Projekt Red confirmed today that it will be presenting at this week's State of Unreal event. Fans may want to have a look, as the company will be “showcasing some of the innovative technology and features that will power The Witcher 4 and beyond”.

Now it is worth noting that we are unlikely to see anything more than a small vertical slice, with the goal of showcasing various features. It could serve as a tease of the world we'll be exploring in The Witcher 4, but don't expect any story details, character confirmations, or anything that could be considered a ‘spoiler'.

The first trailer for The Witcher 4 came out last year and was rendered in-engine, so expect a similar level of visual fidelity from whatever CD Projekt Red is presenting at this event. While development on the game appears to be making good progress, it is also worth noting that CD Projekt Red has already confirmed that The Witcher 4 will not be releasing in 2026. The door is open for 2027, however.

KitGuru Says: This will be interesting to those with an actual desire to know more about game development and the lengthy process. It will not be interesting to anyone expecting to see early spoilers for The Witcher 4.
