CD Projekt RED has annouced that a new in-house engine which is next-gen capable has been created. They call it REDengine 3.
This technology will be used to create CD Projekt’s upcoming sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2007, of which teaser trailer is just unveiled recently.
CD Projekt RED released:
The engine is a next-gen-ready solution that begins to blur the line between pre-rendered CGI movies and real time rendered graphics, bringing us closer to the most life-like world ever created in video games.
CD Projekt studio head Adam Badowsi has also said:
If we look at RPGs nowadays we find two approaches, one which emphasises the story but limits the game world and one that builds a vast open-world but hampers and simplifies the story, with the REDengine 3 we combine the positive aspects of both approaches for the first time, creating an open environment with a complex, multi-thread story. Together with believable characters, a captivating tale and a world where players can roam freely without loading times, we will be able to move gaming to a new level with a realistic feel and full player immersion.
Overall, REDengine 3 can be considered as a very promising new game engine. With so much fates have been put in, will REDengine 3 satisfy the whole world customers? and don’t forget that there will be a coming announcement on February 5th. Let’s hope there will be more information released about this “next-gen” technology.
