Daniel Vavra, the creator of the Kingdom Come trilogy and a co-founder of Warhorse Studio, has publicly criticized Unreal Engine, claiming it struggles with the demands of creating an intricate and open world. He argues that this limitation is a significant factor behind the production challenges faced by The Witcher 4. Vavra asserts, "Unreal works well here if you want to make a game with desert and rocks, but the engine couldn't handle trees for a long time." He further criticizes Unreal's Nanite technology, stating it is incapable of effectively rendering vegetation.
A CD Projekt employee, reportedly in conversation with Vavra, mentioned that the studio has been struggling to replicate scenes that worked seamlessly on the RED Engine. Vavra questions CD Projekt's decision to switch from their robust RED Engine to Unreal, especially since most studios developing open-world games opt for custom engines. He also points out that while Unreal Engine can deliver stunning visuals, it demands high-end computers priced at several thousand euros, which are unaffordable for many gamers.
