Daniel Vavra, creator of the Kingdom Come trilogy and Warhorse Studio co-founder, criticizes Unreal Engine's limitations for complex open-world games. He claims its inability to efficiently handle intricate environments, particularly vegetation, is the source of The Witcher 4's reported development struggles.

Vavra highlights Unreal Engine's struggles with vegetation, stating, "Unreal works well for deserts and rocks, but the engine struggled with trees for a long time." He points to the limitations of Nanite technology in rendering realistic plant life.

A CD Projekt employee, according to Vavra, confirmed the difficulties encountered porting scenes that functioned perfectly on the RED Engine to Unreal Engine. These challenges have reportedly caused significant production delays.

Vavra questions CD Projekt's decision to switch to Unreal Engine, noting that most open-world developers utilize proprietary engines. He also points out the high-end hardware requirements of Unreal Engine, making it inaccessible to many players.

Despite the years since the release of the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance, anticipation for the sequel remains high. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, launching February 4th, promises enhanced graphics, refined combat, and a historically-grounded narrative continuing Indřich's journey.
