Rumors are swirling that CD Projekt Red's upcoming Witcher multiplayer game, Project Sirius, might let players craft their own Witchers. A recent job posting at The Molasses Flood, the studio developing the game, hints at this possibility. While character creation is common in multiplayer titles, this new detail adds fuel to the speculation.
Initially unveiled in late 2022 as a multiplayer Witcher spin-off, Project Sirius is being developed by The Molasses Flood, known for titles like The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow. Recent reports suggest a live-service model, raising the question: pre-set characters or custom creation? A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist strongly suggests the latter. The description emphasizes alignment with the game's "artistic vision and gameplay needs," hinting at the development of diverse, high-quality characters.
Creating Your Own Witcher: Proceed with Caution
The excitement is palpable, but fans should temper their expectations. While the job posting seeks an artist capable of creating "world-class characters," this doesn't confirm a full-fledged character creation system. The focus could equally be on developing pre-existing characters for the game.
The potential for player-created Witchers arrives at a pivotal moment for CD Projekt. The recent Witcher 4 trailer, showcasing Ciri as the protagonist, has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Allowing players to create their own Witchers could potentially alleviate some of this discontent.
