We found out a few months ago CD Projekt Red’s plans for The Witcher are truly ambitious, which is undoubtedly great news for all of us who have ever enjoyed the saga that led the Polish study to become a reference in the industry. It is true that today, and after the redemption of Cyberpunk 2077, it is the latter that plays in most news related to the studio, but we can be sure that when the saga is rebooted, which we first learned about a year ago, there is more than likely to reverse the situation in this regard.

As I said, CD Projekt Red announced back in October of last year that they have no less than three releases related to the saga: the already named reboot of the saga, which, as far as we know, will not include Geralt. de Rivia as the protagonist; Canis Mayoris, an open-world RPG that retains the setting of the Witcher world; and Project Sirius, developed by The Molasses Flooda different project from the saga reboot and which would focus on the campaign and multiplayer modes.

However, in the middle of the month and during the conference with investors CD Projekt Red claimed to have reconsidered the Sirius projectsomething that many immediately interpreted as the studio’s decision to end production on the title, thus leaving new The Witcher games (that is, the ones that expand the universe, not them). remakes) in second, the already announced reboot and Canis Mayoris, about which there is no good or bad news at the moment.

But the truth is that the study talked about reconsideration, not repeal, even though for many people the two terms seem to be synonymous. The good news is that to undo the evil, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher Project Sirius is still alive, as we can read on IGN. In other words, in this case, reconsideration means exactly what it should mean, rather than being used to avoid a more emphatic term like repeal.

According to the information provided it happened that its development was restarted, which, as I previously hinted at, was in the hands of The Molasses Flood. «So that’s a project that I would say is internal. It’s also new for us in terms of layout and format. For these reasons, it is very different from the big productions we are known for. In order to remain competitive, we must constantly look for new ways to grow our franchises.”, said Adam Kiciński, President and Deputy CEO of CD Projekt Red.

And what does it mean that it is an internal project? The first reading is that the company decided to withdraw the project from The Molass Flood to take over its development internally, either because the results offered by the external developer were not satisfactory, due to the need to reduce costs, or because the Sirius project acquired a specific weight. in the company’s plans with the Witcher. But most importantly, we can expect a new title in the future.
