10 days ago, The Witcher fans were shocked when CD Projekt RED admitted in a financial statement that it had written off money to assess the scope and commercial potential of the Sirius project. We didn’t know exactly what that meant. Assumptions ranged from a major redesign to a total cancellation. Now the company has shed a little more light on this. Even if they are still more or less hazy.
CFO Piotr Nelyubowicz explained during the presentation of the Polish company’s 2022 results that the Sirius project is something completely new for the team in terms of design and different from other big games they have created.. Also, it is being created by a new studio in their family; Treacle flood in Boston.
The Molasses Flood team was founded in 2014 by several people with experience in games such as BioShock, Halo and Rock Band. In 2016, he introduced the rogue-like adventure The Flame in the Flood to the world, and more recently, the survival game Drake Hollow. At the end of 2021, the studio was bought by CD Projekt RED.
“In order to stay competitive, we have to experiment and be bold as we try new paths, stay in control and stay on track, especially with a project that is new to us in terms of design being developed by a new studio in our family.” said CFO CD Projekt RED.
“We must be ready to rethink our initial concepts, even if they are already in development. It was a difficult decision [odepsat náklady]but we think it was right. We do not want to continue projects that do not suit us“ added CEO Adam Kiczynski, making it even more of a stew.
