Hunting monsters in a witcher and/or magician squad? The Witcher: Project Sirius could hit exactly this notch – at least some fans hope so.
We won’t be short of new Witcher games for years to come. In fact, CD Projekt Red is currently planning six different witcher projects, not each of which will be a new role-playing game. For example Project Siriuswhich is primarily being developed by the developer The Molasses Flood and is intended to combine single and multiplayer elements.
Of course, we already have an overview of all upcoming games from CD Projekt Red ready for you – from The Witcher to Cyberpunk. Just take a look at the list below to find out more about what the studio is currently or will be working on:

Will Project Sirius become a Witcher division?
There is currently almost no concrete information about Project Sirius. For example, we don’t even know when the upcoming Witcher RPG will be released. However, some fans now have via Reddit alerted to job postings at CD Projekt Red that provide new clues and allow some speculation.
These job offers paint a slightly clearer picture of the multiplayer elements of Project Sirius – a few commenters on the Reddit discussion are even hoping for a Witcher division of sorts based on this. That means: a game set in the universe of Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer and Co., in which several players play different sorcerers and hunt monsters at the same time.
The job postings suggest that Sirius is on Co-op, PvE, a class system, multiple game modes and social activities
puts. At the same time is from procedurally generated game elements
the speech. However, the search is not only for developers with experience in these areas, non-linear
such as cineastisches Storytelling
with show dialogues
are also relevant at Project Sirius according to the job offers.
Incidentally, the description “stylized game” suggests that Project Sirius, like Drake Hollow from The Molasses Flood, relies on comic-esque graphics.
Previous games by the studio: Incidentally, before Project Sirius, the studio The Molasses Flood released the games The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow: Crafting, exploration and sometimes even survival elements play an important role in both titles – with Drake Hollow players also have online co-op Disposal.
With that in mind, The Molasses Flood would build on that experience and create a Witcher game with similar gameplay elements. However, it will definitely be a few more years before we get any solid information about Project Sirius. With the next Witcher RPG Project Polaris it won’t start until 2025 at the earliest anyway, a remake of the first part of the series comes too.
Incidentally, witcher expert Steffi has already thought about Project Sirius and what is behind the statement that Sirius should not appeal to hardcore role players. You can find out more about this in her detailed plus analysis:

Sirius is meant to appeal “not just to hardcore RPGers” – what does that mean?
What are your hopes and expectations for Project Sirius emerging at The Molasses Flood with the support of CD Projekt Red? What do you think of the idea of going monster-hunting in a co-op multiplayer Witcher? Let us know in the comments!
