Oh boy, guess what? A remake of The Witcher is on its way. And let me tell ya, CD Projekt Red is promising some pretty hefty changes. You know, to spruce up those bits that haven’t aged like fine wine since 2007. CEO Jakub Rokosz spilled the beans, saying they’re axing the parts that are, well, kinda cringe now.
In a chat with Edge (hat tip to GamesRadar), Rokosz got real. He said they’re doing a deep dive, a no-holds-barred critique of what’s gotta go. But hey, it’s not all about the axe; they’re keen on keeping the gold. They’re spotlighting the awesome parts that are too good to toss.
Oh, and before I forget. If you’re trying to watch some video here, make sure your browser’s up to snuff, HTML5 and all that jazz. And, uh, there’s some hoopla about an invalid file format. Also, a big “nope” if you’re trying to sneak in without meeting the age gate. Just pop in your birthdate, agree to some terms and privacy stuff, and you’re golden.
Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Fans are already playing detective, trying to guess what’s getting the boot. Top bets? The kinda janky combat and moving around, for starters. And there’s buzz that Geralt’s, um, “Romance Cards” might be saying goodbye. A bit of a throwback, those.
But wait, there’s more on CD Projekt Red’s plate. The Witcher remake is just a slice of the pie. They’re also juggling The Witcher 4, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, and drumroll… a brand spanking new IP, Project Hadar. Sounds like they’re not just busy; they’re swamped.
