Cyberpunk runs on the RedEngine. This game will be the first for CD Project Red to run Unreal engine.

I agree however that Unreal engine might be a bad choice. We'll have to see. They change engine because of money as developing an engine is far more expensive than using Unreal Engine.

~~If I recall correctly, the "next gen update" for The Witcher 3 was UE5.~~

I did not recall correctly.

That makes no sense 🤣 if they had done that then it would mean they would have to develop the game all over again in UE5. UE5 and redENGINE are two different engines and there is no "upgrading" from one engine to the other without making the game all over again in the different engine.
