YouTuber ‘kwestorek’ shared an awesome video showing Vizima’s Royal Castle from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remade in Unreal Engine 5. The artist rebuilt the whole castle using UE5, and we get to see it with cool new lighting from Epic’s engine.

As with most similar “remakes“, this was done for portfolio purposes. There is no download link so that you can test it on your PC. Still, since The Witcher 4 will use UE5, it’s a cool fan preview of what we might see.

Sadly, the artist did not reveal the PC specs of the system he used. The reason I’m saying this is because the framerate is really low. Not only that, but there are numerous framerate drops. You will also spot some stutters. So, this video will give you the “full Unreal Engine 5” experience.

In theory, The Witcher 4 will look better than what we see here. Or at least that’s the impression I got from its recent tech demo. Also, this fan remake is made by one artist. So, it would be best to temper your expectations. This won’t blow you away. Still, this is something cool that I believe deserves the spotlight.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this cool fan remake of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Let’s also not forget this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a remaster of Unreal Gold and a cool fan remake of Doom 3. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground also have some awesome fan remakes. There’s even a fan remake of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation that features Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz. But that’s not all. Fans have also made remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. And if you love Zelda, there’s a really cool Studio Ghibli-style teaser for Ocarina of Time made in Unreal Engine 5. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
