CD Projekt Reportedly Expanding The Witcher Universe With a New Free-to-Play PC and Mobile Game
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
A new report indicates CD Projekt is developing a second, separate multiplayer Witcher game for PC and mobile, featuring custom witcher creation and co-op monster hunting.
CD Projekt is reportedly expanding its flagship franchise with a second multiplayer Witcher game in development, this time targeting PC and mobile devices as a free-to-play co-op action-RPG. According to a recent report by MP1st, this unannounced project is entirely separate from Project Sirius, the studio's other multiplayer Witcher spin-off that has faced recent restructuring. Sources indicate the game is set in the year 1230 during a younger era for Geralt, focusing on contract-based monster hunting across diverse environments while utilizing a skill-driven combat system built around custom witcher creation, sign mastery, and potion crafting.
This shift toward mobile and PC platforms aligns with CD Projekt's broader strategy adjustments, including a previous partnership deal with mobile developer Scopely and expressed interest in bringing major IP to portable screens. For players, the idea of a bite-sized, accessible multiplayer Witcher experience on mobile and PC offers a fresh way to engage with the continent outside of massive single-player RPG commitments. At the same time, the community will likely watch closely to see how free-to-play monetization and live service elements are integrated into a traditionally single-player narrative powerhouse.
As the studio balances ongoing work on the next mainline Witcher installment alongside these multiplayer initiatives, details regarding the specific development team behind the mobile project remain unconfirmed. CD Projekt Red has been approached for comment, and players are weighing the potential of a portable co-op witcher adventure against past industry stumbles with mobile adaptations.
