Key Takeaways

  • CD Projekt Red's upcoming Witcher multiplayer game, Project Sirius, may feature player-created Witchers.
  • Recent job postings at The Molasses Flood, the studio developing the game, hint at character creation capabilities.
  • Enthusiasm should be tempered until official confirmation from CD Projekt Red.

Evidence from a job posting at The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt Red-owned studio, suggests the highly anticipated Witcher multiplayer game, Project Sirius, will allow players to craft their own Witchers. While character creation is common in multiplayer titles, this new information strengthens the possibility for Project Sirius.

Initially unveiled in late 2022, Project Sirius was described as a Witcher spin-off incorporating multiplayer elements. Developed by The Molasses Flood (creators of The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow), the game is now understood to be a live-service title. This could mean either pre-selected characters or custom character creation within the Witcher universe. A recent job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood reinforces the latter possibility. The posting emphasizes the need for an artist to collaborate on characters aligning with the game's artistic vision and gameplay requirements.

Project Sirius: Custom Witcher Creation?

While the prospect of creating personalized Witchers excites many fans, caution is advised until CD Projekt Red provides official details. The job posting's call for a skilled artist capable of delivering "world-class characters" doesn't definitively confirm character creation tools. It could equally refer to the development of other Witcher characters, such as selectable heroes or non-player characters (NPCs).

Should player-created Witchers be confirmed, it would be a timely development for CD Projekt Red. 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. The option to create custom Witchers could potentially mitigate some of this negative sentiment.
