Witcher Multiplayer Title Allows Player-Created Characters

A New Witcher Experience: Player-Created Witchers?

CD Projekt Red's upcoming multiplayer Witcher game, codenamed Project Sirius, may allow players to craft their own Witchers, according to a recent job posting. While character creation is common in multiplayer titles, this development hints at a potentially significant feature for the Witcher universe.

Initially unveiled in late 2022 as a multiplayer spin-off, Project Sirius is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt studio known for crafting survival games like The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow. Recent reports suggest a live-service model for the game, leaving open the possibility of either pre-set characters or player-created ones. A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strengthens the latter theory, emphasizing the need for an artist to ensure characters meet the game's artistic vision and gameplay requirements.

Project Sirius: Custom Witchers or Not?

While the prospect of creating custom Witchers excites many fans, caution is warranted until CD Projekt provides official confirmation. The job posting's emphasis on "world-class characters" doesn't definitively confirm character creation; it could simply refer to the development of high-quality pre-designed characters or NPCs.

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. The ability to create personalized Witchers could potentially mitigate some of this negative sentiment.

Therefore, while intriguing, the possibility remains speculative until officially confirmed by CD Projekt. The future of Project Sirius and its character creation features remains to be seen.
