This restructuring means the studio is trimming its workforce to align with current project requirements. The change directly impacts the team size responsible for building this specific game experience.

The studio confirmed that 18 developers have been affected by these recent changes. Nine employees were laid off, while another nine were reassigned to different projects within the company. This follows the full merger of The Molasses Flood into CD Projekt Red in April 2025.

Project Sirius has faced significant staffing shifts since it was restarted from scratch in 2023. The current adjustments reflect the project's needs at this specific stage of development. The studio maintains that the team size is now calibrated to the game's requirements.

These personnel changes mark the latest chapter in the development history of this multiplayer title. The studio continues to manage the project following the acquisition and integration of its original developers. The focus remains on aligning resources with the game's current development phase.
