Given that Polaris will be CD Projekt RED’s first game to use Unreal Engine 5, it makes sense. The Polish firm, as some of you may remember, boasted full-fledged cooperation with Epic Games where they would also seek to enhance the engine’s capacity to generate open-world roleplaying games. Of course, CD Projekt RED will support The Witcher Remake even if it will be mostly created by Fool’s Theory. While The Witcher Remake and The Witcher 4 may be receiving the most attention when it comes to upcoming releases in the series, CD Projekt RED is also assisting the creation of a spin-off game being developed by The Molasses Flood under the codename Sirius. Kiciński said that it will be a significantly different game from the typical CDPR output and aimed at a wider audience on the abovementioned earnings call. Finally, Kiciński refused to specify whether Project Polaris or Sirius would be made public first, leaving it up to speculation for the time being. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Next-Gen release is just around the horizon, while Cyberpunk 2077’s expansion Phantom Liberty is almost finished, indicating a timeframe in the first half of 2023
