Multiplayer Witcher spin-off Project Sirius reportedly hit by layoffs again, in “broader shift in development strategy” at CD Projekt Red

Eurogamer · 3 hours ago

CD Projekt Red has reportedly made nine redundancies on Project Sirius, its multiplayer-linked Witcher spin-off, while moving another nine staff to other internal teams. The reported changes are said to reflect a broader shift in development strategy, adding fresh uncertainty around a project that has already been rebooted and reorganised several times.

CD Projekt Red said in May that 83 people were working on Sirius, meaning a substantial team would remain if the report is accurate. The game began at external studio Molasses Flood, was rebooted in 2023 after a review of its scope and commercial potential, and moved in-house after CDPR acquired the studio in 2025; meanwhile, The Witcher 4 remains the company’s main priority.

  • Project Sirius reportedly lost nine staff amid a strategic development shift.
  • Another nine employees are reportedly being reassigned internally.
  • The Witcher 4 remains CD Projekt Red’s top priority.
