"Witcher 4 Faces Delays Due to Unreal Engine Issues"

Daniel Vavra, the visionary behind the Kingdom Come trilogy and a co-founder of Warhorse Studio, has publicly criticized Unreal Engine, labeling it as inadequate for crafting detailed and expansive open-world games. Vavra points to the troubled development of The Witcher 4 as a case in point, suggesting that the engine's limitations led to significant production challenges. He specifically critiques Unreal's handling of complex environments, stating, "Unreal works well if you want to make a game with desert and rocks, but the engine couldn't handle trees for a long time." He further argues that Unreal's Nanite technology falls short when it comes to rendering vegetation effectively.

Vavra's insights are reportedly backed by conversations with a CD Projekt employee, who mentioned that scenes that ran smoothly on the RED Engine were problematic on Unreal. This has allegedly contributed to the "production hell" surrounding The Witcher 4. Vavra questions the decision to switch from the RED Engine, which has proven effective for open-world games, to Unreal Engine. He also highlights the engine's high system requirements, noting that it demands computers costing thousands of euros—far beyond the budget of most gamers.
