CD Projekt Red is reportedly developing a new free-to-play multiplayer game set in The Witcher universe, prioritizing combat over narrative.
A New Witcher Multiplayer Experience
According to a report from MP1st, CD Projekt Red is working on a new free-to-play multiplayer title within The Witcher universe. The game will focus on combat and gameplay over story, allowing players to accept contracts and hunt creatures in familiar locations.
Players will create custom characters instead of controlling established figures like Geralt or Ciri. The title is expected to launch on PC and smartphones.
Distinct from Project Sirius
This project is separate from Project Sirius, a different spin-off announced in 2022. That title underwent a reboot in 2023 and may include a solo mode for consoles.
Background and Industry Context
The Witcher franchise has previously seen mobile free-to-play titles, including:
- Battle Arena (2015) — a MOBA
- Monster Slayer (2021) — a location-based game
- Various GWENT spin-offs
MP1st speculates that mobile game publisher Scopely could be involved, as CD Projekt Red has partnered with them for a game based on The Witcher or Cyberpunk.
Timeline and Key Details
CD Projekt Red stated in May that a 2026 release for that project is not realistic. The article does not provide a release date or additional details from official sources.
The game features skills and unique builds as players progress, according to MP1st's report.
