The responsible study of the Sirius project dissolves as a legal entity and becomes a total part of the CDPR
The story of The molasses flooded He took a definitive turning point. The Indie study that many knew for games like The flame in the flood y Drake Hollow He stopped existing as his own legal entity. The reason? It was completely absorbed by CD Projakt, the company behind mythical sagas such as The Witcher y Cyberpunk 2077. But not everything is tears or goodies: this integration is presented as a strategic movement to strengthen one of the most awaited projects by fans of the Riveria wizard: The multiplayer game set in the universe of Witcher, so far known as Sirius project.
An announced step that changes the future of the Sirius project
From its acquisition in 2021, The molasses flooded He had worked under the CDPR wing in a mysterious multiplayer title based on The Witcher. However, from April 1, 2025, the study no longer operates as an independent company. In the words of Michał Nowkowski, CD Projakt General Co -irector, this decision tries to “guarantee better alignment in the context and management of the project”.
Does this mean layoffs or cancellations? Nothing like that. At the moment he did not cut the staff and the development of the Sirius project continues, although some changes in managing the project have produced.
One of the most exceptional outputs is that of Damian Isla, co -founder of The molasses flooded And so far Project Sirius Design Directorwho decided to close his stage with the study at this same point. “This is a step Good and healthy for the team“The island said in an emotional message on LinkedIn.” Break some organizational barriers and improves the integration of the TMF team with the rest of the incredible CDPR team. “
The rebirth of Witcher’s multiplayer
Although the Sirius project remains an enigma for most players, what we know is that it has gone through delicate moments. In 2023, the project was restarted, which generated items on internal tensions and difficulties in its development. Total absorption by the CDPR could be the push they need to advance with a firm step.
Despite his departure, the island clarified that the future is promising: “It will be an incredible game, worthy of history books and I can’t wait for the world to find out what we worked”. Words that frighten Geralt and the company.
Even so, CDPR has not released a garment on dates, gameplay or platforms. The only sure thing is that it will be a multiplayer experience within the universe The Witcherwhich already means a novelty within the sagaTraditionally focused on the story mode for a player.
Who were the floods of the molasses?
Founded in 2014 by developers who worked on qualifications such as Bioshock, Halo 2 y Hero of guitarThe Boston -based study won a certain recognition with its first title, The flame in the floodA survival adventure that has distinguished himself for his artistic style and his environmental fiction. Later they launched Drake HollowA cooperative game that happened something more unnoticed.
Although their proposals were interesting, Have never become clamotive successesAnd it was in 2021 when the CDPR decided to buy them, betting on their talent for more ambitious projects. Since then, its only goal has been the Sirius project and it seems that this total dedication will be maintained, now directly from within the CD Projekt Red offices.
Witcher’s ecosystem continues to grow
This movement is part of a wider strategy. Recall that in 2022 CDPR announced several projects relating to The Witcherincluding a new trilogy and other spin-offs. Sirius project is part of that expanded universeAnd its multiplayer approach is a radical change compared to the game model that we are used to franchise.
The team behind the game, now completely melted with CDPR, has the difficult task of Build an online experience that maintains the narrative and atmospheric identity that characterizes the sagaBut this also knows how to offer something fresh in a field where CD Projakt has not yet trampled on multiplayer: multiplayer.
With all this internal movement, what is clear is that CD Projekt is not making false steps. They know that the universe of The Witcher It is a gold mine that must be explored with care and ambition. Integrate The molasses flooded It gives them total control, accelerates the processes and avoids duplications that hinder the development of fluids.
And although changes of leadership have occurred, the fact that the project continues its course It is a positive signal. Now we just have to expect this new course to serve Sirius project Not only do I see the light, but it highly shines in a world where quality multiplayer games are increasingly requested.
