Witcher remake paused, gated by The Witcher 4's shared Unreal Engine 5 architecture

CD Projekt Red confirmed the Witcher remake is on temporary hold. The remake shares underlying architecture with The Witcher 4, built in Unreal Engine 5, and cannot proceed until The Witcher 4 establishes the assets, tools, and pipelines the remake needs. Fool's Theory now focuses on The Witcher 3 expansion 'Songs of the Past', dated for 2027 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
