CD Projekt Red is rebooting its upcoming co-op Witcher game

Last year, CD Projekt Red announced a slate of projects, including a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 and several Witcher games. We know that a Witcher 1 Remake is on the way, as well as a new trilogy of mainline Witcher RPGs. Alongside this, a smaller co-op focused Witcher game is also in the works, but it seems CD Projekt Red is taking that project back to the drawing board. 

Project Sirius, which is in development at CD Projekt-owned studio, The Molasses Flood, is being rebooted following a recent evaluation of its “scope and commercial potential”, CD Projekt tells investors in a regulatory note. The project has incurred around $10 million in expenses thus far, which will “accordingly burden the company's financial results”.

The studio is now “formulating a new framework for this project”, which sounds like a roundabout way of saying it is being rebooted. Not much is officially known about this game, but it will feature multiplayer elements in some form and is likely a co-op-focused game, as revealed by previous job ads. Whether or not that will change now still remains to be seen.

CD Projekt Red struggled with scope throughout Cyberpunk 2077's development and ultimately, the studio released the game in a rushed state. We can only hope that issues like that can be ironed out early for the company's upcoming slate of games.

KitGuru Says: Hopefully CD Projekt Red can keep its current slate of projects on track. The studio has expanded a lot and now has multiple major projects on the go at once and these types of expansions don't often come without a new set of challenges.
