The Witcher: Part One Remake will be an open-world game

CD Projekt has confirmed that The Witcher 1 remake will be an open-world game.

During a presentation this week, the remake was described as a story-focused single-player open-world role-playing game and a modern reimagining of the original (via VGC).

More open than the original

It might not be 100% surprising that they’re going for an open-world structure after the most recently released games, but this is the first official confirmation.

The original was not an open-world role-playing game, but even after the remake was announced, there was speculation as to whether the new edition would follow this path.
