The Witcher 1 Remake is officially underway, but it’s not being developed by CD Projekt Red themselves. Instead, the project is in the hands of Fool’s Theory, a Polish studio founded by former CDPR veterans who actually worked on The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. Key team members like Jakub Rokosz, who was a quest designer on those games, are leading the remake effort. While CDPR isn’t directly making the game, they’re closely supervising the project to make sure it stays true to the original’s spirit. The remake is being rebuilt from scratch using Unreal Engine 5, the same tech powering The Witcher 4, which means fans can expect modern visuals and gameplay improvements without losing the core charm of the original classic.
Alongside the remake news, there are strong rumors that a new story-driven DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt could arrive as early as 2026. This potential expansion is reportedly being developed by Fool’s Theory as well, which would keep the spirit of the Witcher alive while adding fresh content for longtime fans. Although CD Projekt Red hasn’t officially confirmed the DLC, the involvement of Fool’s Theory and the expected timeline have fans excited about new adventures with Geralt.
Between the remake and the possible DLC, it looks like the Witcher universe is gearing up for a big comeback, blending nostalgia with modern gaming technology. Whether you’re a die-hard Witcher fan or new to the series, there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming years.
