A New Witcher Multiplayer Experience: Character Creation?
CD Projekt Red's upcoming multiplayer Witcher game, codenamed Project Sirius, may feature player-created Witchers, according to recent job postings. While character creation is common in multiplayer titles, this development adds intrigue to Project Sirius, initially described as a Witcher spin-off with multiplayer elements.
Developed by The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt-owned studio, Project Sirius is shaping up to be a live-service game. This model could involve pre-selected characters or a robust character creation system within the Witcher universe. A recent job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strongly suggests the latter. The posting emphasizes the artist's role in ensuring character alignment with the game's artistic vision and gameplay requirements, hinting at a significant focus on character development.
Project Sirius: Customizable Witchers?
While the prospect of creating custom Witchers excites many fans, caution is advised until CD Projekt provides official confirmation. The job posting highlights the need for "world-class characters," but this doesn't definitively confirm a player character creation system. It could simply refer to the development of other Witcher characters, such as pre-made heroes or NPCs.
The potential for player-created Witchers arrives at a pivotal moment for CD Projekt. The recent Witcher 4 trailer revealed Ciri as the protagonist, a decision met with mixed reactions from some fans. The ability to create personalized Witchers could potentially mitigate some of this negative sentiment.
