Fans of the iconic CD Projekt Red franchise have a fresh reason to pay attention to upcoming developments. A new multiplayer title set within the world of The Witcher is reportedly in the works, aiming to bring an action oriented experience to both PC and mobile platforms. Unlike the narrative heavy adventures of Geralt, this project focuses on cooperative combat and character customization.
- Features a free to play model for PC and mobile devices.
- Focuses on action based combat rather than traditional single player storytelling.
- Allows players to create and customize their own unique characters.
- Includes core series mechanics like potion crafting and sign usage.
Expanding Beyond The Single Player Experience
Reports suggest this title centers on accepting contracts to hunt creatures across familiar locations. Players will step away from established protagonists, instead building their own characters with specific skill trees and combat styles. Mastering the use of signs and preparing potions remains a priority to survive encounters, mirroring the tactical depth found in previous entries.
This project appears distinct from the previously announced Project Sirius. While Sirius is expected to feature a solo mode and potential console support, this leaked multiplayer endeavor seems tailored specifically for the PC and smartphone audience. Industry speculation points toward a partnership with mobile publisher Scopely, though CD Projekt Red has remained quiet on specific launch windows.
The History of Mobile Witcher Titles
CD Projekt Red has experimented with the mobile market several times over the past decade. Past releases include the 2015 MOBA title Battle Arena and the augmented reality experience Monster Slayer, which closed in 2023. Additionally, fans of card games saw releases like GWENT on mobile platforms. This new project represents another attempt to capture the mobile demographic, though the studio has indicated that a 2026 release remains unlikely.
