During The Game Awards, we got a first look at the upcoming, hotly anticipated next chapter in The Witcher saga from CD Projekt Red. A technically impressive showcase that clearly demonstrated the potential of Unreal Engine 5 and the groundbreaking visual splendour that the graphics engine enables.
