The Witcher Remake will feature an open world, says CD Projekt

The new version of 2007 The Wizard it will give players a bit more freedom than the first time around. The new version of Witcher, which is being developed by CD Projekt Red, will be open world, unlike the original 2007 version of the game, which was a bit more linear. There’s no word yet on when the new version will be released, which means it’s probably still quite a long way off.

The new revelation about the game’s structure came from a slide in CD Project Group’s Q3 investor presentation. The slide includes an eye-catching, fiery graphic with a logo for the remake in the recognizable font of The Witcher and describes the game as a “story-driven, single-player, open-world RPG.” While this doesn’t give us much of an idea of ​​what the remake’s open world would look like, it does sound like a pretty big change from the original game, which gave players some larger environments to explore while slaying monsters and gaining upgrades. for Gerald, but overall it was pretty linear.

While none of this is terribly surprising, given that it’s exactly the structure that helped break the series off with the smash hit of 2015. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is slightly different from the structure of the original game. More importantly, it suggests that CD Projekt will expand the scope of the first game and could tell the same story while giving players a much bigger and more expansive world to explore around them.
