Multiverse's Witcher Game Unveils Customizable Character Creation

A New Witcher Multiplayer Experience: Character Creation?

CD Projekt Red's upcoming Witcher multiplayer game, codenamed Project Sirius, may feature character creation, according to a recent job posting. While character creation is common in multiplayer games, this development adds intrigue to the already anticipated title.

Initially unveiled in late 2022 as a multiplayer Witcher spin-off, Project Sirius is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a CD Projekt-owned studio. Recent reports suggest a live-service model, hinting at either pre-selected characters or player-created ones. A job posting for a Lead 3D Character Artist at The Molasses Flood strengthens the latter possibility. The posting emphasizes the need for an artist to collaborate on characters aligning with the game's artistic vision and gameplay requirements.

Project Sirius: Customizable Witchers?

The prospect of creating custom Witchers is exciting for fans, but cautious optimism is advised until CD Projekt provides official confirmation. While the job posting seeks an artist capable of delivering "world-class characters," this doesn't definitively confirm a character creation system. The artist might equally be creating pre-designed characters 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 change that has sparked mixed reactions among fans. The option to create personalized Witchers could potentially mitigate some of this negative feedback.
