CD Projekt RED is reportedly expanding its dark fantasy universe with an unannounced, free-to-play multiplayer action-RPG targeted for PC and mobile devices. According to a massive leak sourced by MP1st, this project aims to deliver a combat-centric, cooperative monster-hunting experience heavily prioritizing player skill over traditional mobile mechanics.
While CDPR is currently focused on The Witcher 4 and the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, this project represents a massive push to firmly plant The Witcher IP into the mobile and casual PC space with a prestige tier title.
Unlike previous entries that lock players into the boots of Geralt of Rivia or Ciri, this unannounced project takes a page from traditional MMORPGs while serving as a prequel to the entire franchise.
According to leak data, the game is ditching automated mobile gameplay loops in favor of a high-ceiling, strategic action combat layout.
The combat loop heavily rewards mechanical mastery. Success against brutal monsters depends on precise timing for dodges, blocks, parries, and lethal executions.
As players complete contracts and level up, they can choose to specialize in different Witcher Schools. Progression unlocks specific abilities, allowing players to fully customize their builds, whether they want to focus on high-damage physical swordplay, defensive alchemy and potion-brewing, or casting magical Signs.
This newly leaked title is entirely separate from Project Sirius, the console/PC multiplayer spin-off currently in development by The Molasses Flood. CD Projekt RED appears to be running a dual-track strategy for multiplayer engagement.
| Feature | New Leaked Multiplayer Game | Project Sirius |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Platforms | PC and Mobile (iOS / Android) | PC and Consoles |
| Target Audience | Mobile first, cross-play co-op | Traditional console/PC ecosystem |
| Setting | Year 1230 (Young Geralt era) | Undisclosed |
| Character Model | Fully Customizable Witcher | Fixed / Multi-mode (Includes Solo) |
| Primary Developer | Rumored: Scopely | The Molasses Flood (Internal CDPR) |
| Business Model | Free-to-Play | Premium / TBD |
While CDPR is overseeing the project, development duties are heavily rumored to be led by mobile powerhouse Scopely. The two companies signed a strategic partnership to adapt a major CDPR IP.
Scopely has massive industry weight, known for global juggernauts like Monopoly GO!, Looney Tunes World of Mayhem (developed alongside Aquiris, now Epic Games Brasil), and Pokémon GO (following Scopely’s acquisition of Niantic).
Fans shouldn’t expect to play it anytime soon, however. During a recent earnings call, CD Projekt RED CEO Michał Nowakowski explicitly stated that a release is “definitely not” on the table, indicating the game is still navigating early development pipelines.

The PlayStation FlexStrike arcade controller will no longer hit store shelves in August due to manufacturing complications. Originally revealed by Sony in 2025 and anticipated for an August release, the company announced on Tuesday, July 14, that it has been forced to postpone the launch indefinitely.
Although Take-Two Interactive has already set the price of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) at $80, some market analysts are openly dissatisfied with the decision. Among them is Ben Thompson, author of the Stratechery newsletter, who argues that the publisher missed a golden opportunity to charge up to $200 for what he considers "the last great game" in history.
