    Interesting they’re still adding stuff like this given they’ve already signalled they’re not adding any new content to the game and abandoning their engine for the next project.

    I wonder if something has changed behind the scenes or if they’re just going above and beyond in maintenance support

      Have they said they’re never going to use the engine again?

        I forget where I read it but yes, future cyberpunk and Witcher titles will be built on unreal engine.

        They’re not going to keep maintaining the engine if none of their future titles are using it, the engineering cost alone would be very high for no benefit.

          That kind of sucks. Baring all the initial problems with the game I felt like it ended up in a pretty good place. I’m sure Unreal will be fine too. I don’t know much about game engines really.

            In theory it’ll allow them to get the games out faster, or at the very least, get more done in the same time.

      Maybe just a test project to get accustomed to implementing it?

      It is less work to learn one thing instead of two.
