A piece of some exciting news is floating around the internet which has got many Witcher fans hyped up for the Witcher Spin-off Multiplayer game developed by CD Projekt Red owned studio, The Molasses Flood. The latest news comes after a posting for a character creator for the new Witcher Multiplayer game under its development name Project Sirius. The leak suggests, that players will be able to create their very own Witchers in the multiplayer title and has gotten many fans excited for the next entry in the new Witcher Trilogy after the announcement of The Witcher 4. Let’s take a deeper look into the story and explore any possibilities of a Custom Witcher creation mechanic in the Witcher multiplayer game.

Project Sirius aka The Witcher Multiplayer Game
CD Projekt Red announced their ambitious plans for a new witcher title, that will work as a multiplayer spin-off title for the series under the codenamed Project Sirius in 2022. The title is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a studio based out of Boston acquired by CD Projekt Red in 2021, popularly known for their work on The Flame in the Flood and Dark Hollow. The Witcher Multiplayer game is currently in development and has gone through many shifts with creative direction. The developers announced in 2023, a shift for Project Sirius and a complete alteration of the game’s framework, which rebooted its development and started off anew.

While there is no release date for the title as of yet, fans can expect the multiplayer title to arrive after the release of The Witcher 4. Currently CD Projekt Red is working on three separate Witcher titles for a brand new trilogy of Witcher games, the first being The Witcher 4 (Project Polaris), Witcher Multiplayer Game (Project Sirius), and the Remake of the original 2007 Witcher game (Project Canis Majoris). All part of a new Trilogy for the Witcher Franchise and the future of the series.
Create Your Own Witcher

The recent rumors have spiked fan interest in the multiplayer Witcher game, which is expected to be a live-service game with different seasons and content updates. The custom creation rumor for players to create their very own Witcher came to light after a job posting by the Boston-based studio, looking for a 3D Character artist at The Molasses Flood. The description of the job posting described the artist to report directly to the art director for the game and work closely with other members of the creative team at The Molasses Flood.

Many have taken this news as the ability to create their own Witcher Characters in the game and play as those heroes but it can also be in part to an already created selection of Heroes and Villains from the Witcher Universe. Fans should take the rumor with a pinch of salt as nothing is confirmed so far by CD Projekt Red and Project Sirius is still heavy in development far from a release anytime soon.
Witcher 4 and Fan Reception
Many Witcher fans were excited for the reveal of the next Witcher Game and CD Projekt revealed the next entry at The Game Awards in December last year in 2024. The official reveal trailer for the game divided the Witcher Community in two, with many loving the idea of Ciri as the brand-new Protagonist for the next set of games. While the other half were disappointed with their beloved Geralt of Rivia not being a playable character in the title. The developers came forward time and time to assure the fans of the new adventure that awaits them and Geralt is not going anywhere just not as a playable protagonist anymore.

Who Knows maybe we will have a section in The Witcher 4, where players can take control of Geralt. Similar to players taking control of Ciri in certain sections of the The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt story (Just like you, I have my Fingers crossed aswell).
