The Witcher spin-off still in pre-production, CD Projekt Red confirms

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the spin-off game ‘Project Sirius’ in ‘The Witcher’ universe is still in pre-production. The game was initially announced back in 2022 and underwent a reboot in the following year. Despite not yet entering full-scale development, CD Projekt Red remains dedicated to working on ‘Project Sirius’.

In their recent financial report, CD Projekt Red disclosed that they had merged developer The Molasses Flood with their team to enhance alignment in the project’s scope and direction. Alongside ‘Project Sirius’, the studio mentioned that progress on ‘The Witcher 4’ was ongoing at a steady pace. Additionally, they reiterated that the remake of the first ‘Witcher’ game, being developed by Fool’s Theory, is currently in its conceptual stage.

This strategic move allows a small segment of the Fool’s Theory team to assist in the development of ‘The Witcher 4’, with the ultimate goal being to prepare essential assets, tools, and pipelines for the more efficient development of ‘The Witcher Remake’.

The integration of teams and resources aims to facilitate a seamless transition between projects and ensure a cohesive approach to game development within the studio. By strategically aligning their efforts and resources, CD Projekt Red aims to streamline their operations and optimize the production process for all ongoing projects in ‘The Witcher’ franchise.
