A New Witcher Multiplayer Game May Feature Character Creation

An upcoming multiplayer Witcher game from CD Projekt Red might let players create their own Witchers, according to a recent job posting. While character creation is common in multiplayer games, this new development suggests the Witcher's multiplayer title will follow suit.

Initially announced in late 2022 as "Project Sirius," this multiplayer spin-off is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt studio. The Molasses Flood's previous work includes the survival crafting games The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow.

Recent reports suggest Project Sirius will be a live-service game. This could mean players choose from existing characters or create their own within the Witcher universe. A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strengthens the latter possibility. The description emphasizes the need for an artist to create "world-class characters" aligning with the game's vision and gameplay, hinting at extensive character development.

Project Sirius: Customizable Witchers?

While the prospect of creating custom Witchers excites many fans, cautious optimism is advised until CD Projekt provides further details. The job posting's focus on "world-class characters" doesn't confirm player character creation; it could simply mean creating other Witcher universe characters, such as selectable heroes or NPCs.

If confirmed, the ability to create custom Witchers would be timely for CD Projekt. The recent Witcher 4 trailer, unveiled at The Game Awards, revealed Ciri as the protagonist for the next three mainline games, a decision met with mixed reactions from some fans. The option to create personalized Witchers might alleviate some of this fan discontent.
