Witcher Multiplayer Title Embraces Player Customization

Key Points:

• CD Projekt Red's upcoming Witcher multiplayer game, Project Sirius, may feature character creation, allowing players to design their own Witchers.
• Recent job postings from The Molasses Flood, the studio developing the game, hint at this possibility.
• While exciting, fans should temper expectations until official confirmation from CD Projekt Red. The job description focuses on high-quality character creation, but doesn't explicitly confirm player-created Witchers.

CD Projekt Red's multiplayer Witcher title, Project Sirius, might let players forge their own Witchers, according to a job posting from The Molasses Flood, the studio behind the game. While character creation is common in multiplayer games, this new information adds fuel to the speculation.

Initially unveiled in late 2022 as a Witcher spin-off with multiplayer aspects, Project Sirius is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt subsidiary known for titles like The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow.

Recent reports suggest Project Sirius will be a live-service game. This could mean either pre-selected characters or a character creation system within the Witcher universe. A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strengthens the latter possibility. The description emphasizes the artist's role in creating "world-class characters" that align with the game's vision and gameplay, hinting at a robust character creation system.

Project Sirius: Player-Created Witchers?

While the prospect of creating custom Witchers excites many fans, caution is advised until official confirmation from CD Projekt Red. The job posting's focus on "world-class characters" doesn't guarantee a player-creation tool; it could simply refer to the development of high-quality pre-designed characters or NPCs.

The potential for player-created Witchers arrives at a pivotal moment for CD Projekt. The recent Witcher 4 trailer, unveiled at The Game Awards, revealed Ciri as the protagonist for the next three mainline entries, a decision that has met with mixed reactions from some fans. Allowing players to create their own Witchers could potentially mitigate some of this negative sentiment.
