Witcher Multiplayer Game Adds Key Writer From Baldur’s Gate 3

Baudelaire Welch, a writer known for leading Baldur’s Gate 3’s Dark Urge storyline, has joined CD Projekt Red as a senior writer specialist on Project Sirius, its multiplayer Witcher game. The appointment signals the studio’s continued focus on a substantial story for a project that is intended to include a single-player campaign as well as multiplayer.

Sirius was announced in 2022, but development was restarted in 2023 after 29 developers were laid off, and further layoffs reportedly followed this August. Kwan Perng, a Destiny 2 veteran, is the project’s lead writer, and there is still no release window. Other Witcher projects mentioned include a new Witcher 3 expansion planned for next year and The Witcher 4, slated for 2028.
