Discover CD Projekt Red's Multiplayer Witcher Adventure, Empowering Players to Forge Their Own Witcher

A New Witcher Multiplayer Game Might Let You Create Your Own Witcher

An upcoming Witcher multiplayer game, codenamed Project Sirius, may feature character creation, allowing players to design their own Witchers. This is hinted at in a recent job posting from The Molasses Flood, the CD Projekt Red studio developing the game. While character creation is common in multiplayer titles, this development adds weight to speculation.

Initially announced in late 2022 as a Witcher multiplayer spin-off, Project Sirius is being developed by The Molasses Flood, known for titles like The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow. Recent reports suggest the game will be a live-service title, potentially offering either pre-made characters or player-created ones within the Witcher universe.

A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strongly suggests the latter. The description emphasizes creating "world-class characters" to align with the game's artistic vision and gameplay. This strongly implies a character creation system.

Cautious Optimism is Key

While the prospect of creating custom Witchers is exciting, fans should temper their enthusiasm. While the job posting seeks a skilled artist, it doesn't definitively confirm a character creation tool. The artist could be working on pre-designed characters or NPCs instead.

The potential for player-created Witchers arrives at a fortuitous time for CD Projekt. The recent reveal of The Witcher 4's trailer, showcasing Ciri as the protagonist, has caused some fan discontent. The ability to create and play as one's own Witcher could potentially alleviate some of this negative reaction.
