CD Projekt Red\'s Multiplayer Witcher Game May Let Players Create Their Own Witcher

A New Witcher Multiplayer Experience: Character Creation?

CD Projekt Red's upcoming multiplayer Witcher game, codenamed Project Sirius, may feature player-created Witchers, according to recent job postings. While character creation is common in multiplayer games, this development adds intrigue to Project Sirius's potential.

Initially unveiled in late 2022 as a multiplayer Witcher spin-off, Project Sirius is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt subsidiary. Recent reports suggest a live-service model, leaving open the possibility of either pre-selected characters or a robust character creation system. A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strengthens the latter theory, emphasizing the need for an artist to ensure characters align with the game's artistic vision and gameplay requirements.

Crafting Your Own Witcher? Proceed with Caution.

While the prospect of creating custom Witchers excites many fans, tempered expectations are warranted until CD Projekt provides official details. The job posting's call for "world-class characters" doesn't definitively confirm a character creator; it could simply involve developing high-quality pre-designed characters and NPCs.

The potential for player-created Witchers arrives at a pivotal moment for CD Projekt. The recent Witcher 4 trailer revealed Ciri as the protagonist, a decision met with mixed reactions from some fans. Offering character creation could potentially mitigate some of this negative sentiment by allowing players to forge their own Witcher destinies.
