CD Projekt RED is altering its development structure for its new Witcher multiplayer spin-off, Project Sirius. They've brought on Baudelaire Welch as a Senior Specialist Writer to help with the narrative side of the game. This is confirmation they're putting serious work into the story for this separate Witcher experience. It means this new multiplayer game is being worked on by a different team from the main Witcher franchise.
Baudelaire Welch joins Project Sirius team while The Witcher 4 stays on track
Welch comes from Larian Studios where he was working on Baldur's Gate 3. Specifically, it's confirmed he wrote the Dark Urge story for the RPG. CD Projekt RED confirms he'll only be working on Project Sirius. No work on The Witcher 4 or the next Cyberpunk 2077 game.
They're juggling several major titles right now. First of all, Project Sirius is separate from the single-player Witcher games. They're also working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's expansion called Songs of the Past.
It's set for a 2027 launch. And they're still on track for the next main Witcher game (The Witcher 4) to release in 2028.
With this, they're keeping the new multiplayer game's story separate from the main series. Just a heads up for Witcher fans following things – Project Sirius has its own writer now. And they're keeping to separate release windows for everything coming up. 2027 for that expansion, 2028 for the new sequel.
