Unreal Engine 5’s adoption has sparked debate among PC gamers due to persistent performance challenges like frame drops. While engine updates aim to alleviate these, CD Projekt Red’s prior discussions suggest their presentation might address optimization strategies for smoother gameplay in upcoming titles.
Despite potential previews, players shouldn’t expect the game soon. The studio recently reaffirmed a 2027 launch window at the earliest. This leaves ample time to refine how Ciri’s narrative prominence—already established in Andrzej Sapkowski’s books—translates to player expectations shaped by Geralt’s legacy.
