CD Projekt Ditches 15 Years of REDengine for Unreal Engine 5
CD Projekt RED is officially closing the book on REDengine, its proprietary engine used since The Witcher 2 in 2011, to develop The Witcher 4 under Unreal Engine 5. Fifteen years of technical investment consigned to history—a decision that raises questions about both the studio's internal health and its technical ambitions.

The Witcher 4 Playable on All Platforms: CD Projekt RED Learns Its Lesson
The Witcher 4 is already functional on PC, PS5, and Xbox, well before its release. For CD Projekt RED, it's an intentional methodological shift: the Polish studio is still paying the price for Cyberpunk 2077's catastrophic late-2020 launch and cannot afford a second disaster at launch.

The Halo remake running on Unreal Engine 5 has completely overhauled Cortana's design. A decision that rubbed part of the community the wrong way, unconvinced by this reinterpretation.

A textbook case of the remake's creative limits and the modding scene's growing role in preserving a franchise's visual identity.

The move is clearly preparatory: smooth out the technical rough edges that have plagued the series, and provide a credible entry point before Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy arrives. The question is whether this facelift will be enough to overcome a turbulent past.
