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.
The Witcher multiplayer game
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.
The Timeline: The story is set in the year 1230, an era long before the mainline trilogy, when Geralt of Rivia was still a young, up-and-coming witcher.
Custom Characters: For the first time in franchise history, players will be able to create and fully customize their own witcher from scratch, selecting their appearance and gender.
The Routine: Gameplay revolves around the bread-and-butter of the trade: accepting contracts to track, hunt, and execute magical beasts across dark forests, deserted ruins, and bustling urban medieval cities.
Tactical combat: skill over stats
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.
Project comparison: two different multiplayer bets
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.

The scopely connection
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.
