CD Projekt Red reveals it’s working on a Witcher 1 remake

The series is coming back to it's roots. There is a remake of the first game being worked on by CD Projekt Red.

The codename for the remake is Canis Majoris, which is in line with CD Projekt Red's astronomy-based naming convention and also means "big dog."

Adam Badowski, studio head of CD Projekt Red, said that the beginning of the project was in The Witcher. It was a big moment for us when we made the game. It feels like going back to this place and making a new game for the next generation feels just as big.

The remake of The Witcher is being developed by third-party studio Fool's Theory and is being supervised by CD Projekt Red.

In CD Projekt Red's strategy update, "Canis Majoris" was mentioned, as well as Cyberpunk 2077.

The third title in the series, Wild Hunt, is where a lot of fans were first introduced to the character of Geralt. I am excited to see how Geralt of Rivia started in the remake of the game.
