Overview
- CD Projekt confirmed late Wednesday that 18 people who had been working on Project Sirius were either made redundant or invited to apply for redeployment.
- The company said four staff in Boston and five in Warsaw are leaving while nine others were invited to internal recruitment for other CD Projekt Red roles.
- Industry reporting and company comments suggest Sirius’s headcount has fallen from roughly 83 to about 60, a decline near 28 percent that materially reduces the team working on the game.
- The project remains officially in development and recently added Destiny 2 writer Kwan Perng as lead writer, but repeated restructures and a 2023 restart that cut 29 roles have left its schedule and scope uncertain.
- Beyond direct job losses, the changes increase pressure on a studio juggling The Witcher 4, a Witcher 3 expansion and a remake, so observers should watch for further staff moves or an official change in Sirius’s status.
