The remake was teased a few weeks ago by CD Projekt itself with the code name “Canis Maioris.” The game will be “rebuilt from the ground up” with Epic Games’ new engine. It will share the same toolset as the upcoming brand-new Witcher trilogy.
That being said, it’ll likely take a while, since the press release clarifies that the game is in early development, while its creators promise that it’s going to be made “with the utmost care and attention to detail,” asking fans for patience. It’ll also be some time before CD Projekt and Fool’s Theory are ready to provide further details.
While development is handled externally by Fool’s theory, CD Projekt will provide creative supervision.
If you’re unfamiliar with the developer, it includes many veterans from The Witcher series (including The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt), and it’s based in Bielsko-Biała, Poland.
They’re known for Seven: The Days Long Gone and they have helped with well-known games including Baldur’s Gate III, Divinity: Original Sin II, and Outriders.
The press release included a comment from Fool’s Theory CEO Jakub Rokosz, who previously personally worked on all three The Witcher games as senior quest designer.
We also hear from CD Projekt RED studio head Adam Badowski.
