The Witcher Spinoff Studio Hit With Layoffs Due to Game’s Restructuring

After restarting development on the upcoming Witcher multiplayer spinoff game, developer The Molasses Flood has been hit with layoffs.

“Because [Project Sirius] changed, so has the composition of the team that’s working on it–mainly on The Molasses Flood’s side,” a CD Projekt Red spokesperson said in a statement provided to Kotaku. “The concrete number of employees we parted ways with is 21 team members in the US and eight in Poland (working on the project outside of the US).”

Last week, CD Projekt Red announced that Project Sirius had a “new framework” after restarting development.
