CD Projekt Successfully Revisits Concept of The Molasses Flood's The Witcher Game

CD Projekt revealed that it has successfully revisited the concept of Project Sirius, a new The Witcher game being developed by The Molasses Flood.

In March 2023, CD Projekt announced that it was "formulating a new framework" for The Molasses Flood's The Witcher game. Alongside this announcement, the company disclosed that it wrote off costs amounting to 42.9 million PLN, which had already been spent on the project.

Yesterday, the company announced that it had revised the game's concept and will resume development within a "reformulated framework."

CD Projekt did not disclose any specifics regarding the game's reimagined concept. However, the company did mention that it decided to reverse a portion of the funds that were previously written off in March 2023.

This partial reversal, amounting to 21.5 million PLN, is attributed by CD Projekt to the fact that the new framework for the game is based on "a material part" of the game's elements that had already been developed by The Molasses Flood. This suggests that the game's creation was not entirely restarted.

Little information is available about The Molasses Flood's The Witcher game. CD Projekt Red first announced the project in 2022, stating that it would differ from previous games in the series and will offer "multiplayer gameplay on top of a single-player experience." It's currently unclear how this vision has evolved following the change in concept.
