Lost Ark players in the west will soon be able to participate in a crossover event with The Witcher.
The Lost Ark x The Witcher event arrived in the Korean version of Lost Ark last week, and everyone else will be able to experience the collaboration in January.
Apparently, the island White Wolf’s Haven was currently in the midst of festivities when things were interrupted by a mystical vortex.
CD Projekt Red recently revealed that the much-anticipated The Witcher Remake will be an open-world game as per its financial reports for Q3, 2022.
As per the report, CDPR states that The Witcher Remake is a “story-driven, single player open-world RPG - a modern reimagining of 2007’s The Witcher.” This is a slight update on what we first learnt when The Witcher Remake was announced.
Back in early October, CDPR happened to unveil a whole host of projects that it intends to work on over the coming years. The Witcher Remake was one of them, alongside a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, a free next-gen upgrade for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a whole new Witcher game, and an entirely new IP.
To the befuddlement of many, Henry Cavill is no longer playing Geralt in Netflix's Witcher series, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role.
The good news (depending on how strongly you feel about this recasting) is that the show will return for a fourth season, though Cavill won't be coming back for it. Netflix announced yesterday (October 29) that the other Hemsworth would be taking over the role, for reasons that aren't exactly clear, though might have something to do with the actor officially coming back as Superman.
"My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4," Cavill said in a statement. "As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam's take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men."
To coincide with the game’s 15th anniversary today, CD Projekt Red have announced that The Witcher Remake is currently in the early stages of development. The “full-fledged” remake of 2007’s RPG is being developed from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 and will use the same toolsets that CDPR is creating for their upcoming Witcher trilogy. The studio call the project a “modern reimagining” and say they’re “updating the game for the next generation of gamers to experience it.”
The Witcher is being remade in Unreal Engine 5, as had just been revealed by CD Projekt Red on the 15th annivversary of the original game's release. Currently in the early stages of development, the game is being created for the most part by Fool's Theory, a Polish development studio that has worked on a variety of titles such as Divinity Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 as support.
The game is being created from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5 in alignment with how the next Witcher trilogy will be developed. As such, you can likely expect this remake to look and feel very much like the future of the IP as a whole.
In terms of other info, there's scarce amounts to go on other than the work-in-process logo you've already seen above. The Witcher is king of the clunkers when it comes to the series, and isn't very easy to go back to after all these years. This has meant that a big portion of the Witcher narrative has been unexperienced for many, making this remake more warranted than others we've seen in recent months.
