Star Wars Outlaws garnered a reputation as one of Ubisoft’s biggest disappointments. Despite a massive team being involved in development, the game failed to meet financial targets, and Ubisoft is now placing its faith in Assassin’s Creed Shadows for better results.

Many developers from the Star Wars Outlaws team have moved on since then, joining various other studios. One such developer is now a part of CDPR and working on The Witcher 4.

Why it matters: The Witcher 3 is still considered to be gaming’s best RPG by many, creating unprecedented buzz for its successor. This also means that fans are desperate for any information they can find about the sequel.

Taking to X, Kuba Wichnowski shared that he is now part of CDPR. The developer previously worked as the Senior Level Artist on Star Wars Outlaws and is working in a different art department at CDPR.

As per his X bio, the developer has joined the team as a Senior Environment Artist, giving him the opportunity to contribute to the RPG’s overall visual outlook. Also, the post highlights that this is not Kuba Wichnowski’s first time at the studio.

He previously worked at CDPR for over 8 years before joining Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment. As such, Kuba Wichnowski likely feels right at home following his latest move. The Witcher 4 Looks Better Than Ever In First Preview
As a reminder, The Witcher 4 has made many promises, including core gameplay improvements and lifelike NPC routines.

The visuals are also expected to set a new bar for current-gen gaming. Because Kuba Wichnowski is working on the RPG as an artist, his contributions will directly impact these visual elements.
