Project Sirius, CD Projekt’s multiplayer spin-off set in The Witcher universe, has reportedly undergone another round of redundancies. The reported cuts add to uncertainty around a project that has already been reworked, and highlight the continued pressure on game studios to reduce costs while developing large-scale online titles.

The report says the layoffs affected the project’s developer, The Molasses Flood, although neither the studio nor CD Projekt had publicly detailed the scale of the reductions. Project Sirius was first announced as a multiplayer-focused Witcher game and was restarted in 2023 after CD Projekt wrote off around £7.5 million in development costs; it remains in development alongside several other Witcher projects.
