Why does the new wizard no longer use the red engine? What is the reason for changing the engine?

It is also mentioned that unreal engine 5 will be used instead of its own re engine game engine "Wizard", and the new work will be changed from its own Red engine to EpicGames' Unreal 5 engine. Why did CDPR decide to replace the engine? According to a former employee of CDPR, CDPR officially announced that the new work "Wizard" is under development. CDPR wants to use a deep-rooted engine, and they don't want to be entangled in the tools and functions of the red engine for every new work.

There are other reasons for the new work "The Wizard" to change the engine. He said that every new game in the past, the studio basically rewritten REDEngine from scratch, hoping to be better than before. However, due to the tight development cycle, the rewritten engine has been unable to achieve the expected results. So this time, the studio chose unreal engine 5 with a solid foundation to avoid repeating the same mistakes. He also said that the game will cooperate with EpicGame and be developed with Unreal 5 engine instead of the commonly used REDengine engine. As for why the REDengine engine that has been used for more than ten years will be abandoned.

Wizard's performance

The red engine may also be used to develop the new work Witch, because Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't have the system of Witch 3, and he also thinks that it will be better to use unreal engine 5, because it has a mature foundation, and the gameplay and open world content will be reproduced anyway, but the team doesn't need to spend a lot of energy to update the engine tools and features.

The new work "Witch" will not be called "Witch 4", but will start a new series. Although CDPR promoted the Lynx School badge in the previous notice, Hili may still play the leading role, because she doesn't need to use French seal, drink potions, and even has the ability to teleport, which will undoubtedly bring extraordinary combat experience to players.
