The multiplayer spin-off of the Witcher series, known as Project Sirius, has experienced a new round of layoffs

CD Projekt Red's multiplayer Witcher game, internally identified as Project Sirius, has been hit with another wave of job cuts.

A report from Kotaku reveals that nine team members were dismissed from Project Sirius. Additionally, nine others have been reassigned to different projects within the company as part of a strategic change in development.

At the time of reporting, CD Projekt Red had not issued any statements in response to media inquiries.

Initially unveiled in October 2022, Project Sirius is a cooperative and single-player spinoff of the Witcher series, being crafted by The Molasses Flood, a Boston-based studio acquired by CDPR in 2021. In 2023, the project underwent a rescope, which coincided with a set of 29 layoffs. By April 2025, The Molasses Flood was integrated into CDPR.

This development follows Supermassive Games' announcement of a third layoff wave, which might affect up to 75 employees.
