The Witcher universe is about to expand in a new direction. According to a recent unsourced leak reported by MP1st, CD Projekt Red is developing a co‑operative multiplayer spin‑off set before the events of the main games. The leak paints a picture of a game that lets you create your own Witcher, choose a school, and team up with friends – all on PC and mobile, but notably not on consoles.
What the Leak Reveals
The co‑op game is reportedly set in the year 1230, a full century before the events of Wild Hunt and long before Geralt of Rivia’s time. Players will create their own customized Witcher, with extensive character creation options. The progression system is described as skill‑based, allowing you to draw abilities from different Witcher schools (Wolf, Cat, Griffin, Bear, etc.) and tailor your build to your playstyle.
The game is said to focus on PC and mobile platforms, with no console release planned. This aligns with CD Projekt Red’s recent partnership with Scopely (the publisher behind Monopoly GO and Pokémon GO), announced in early 2025. That collaboration was for “a new game for one of its IPs” – this could very well be it.
Is This Project Sirius?
The leak does not explicitly confirm a connection, but the details strongly resemble Project Sirius, the multiplayer project that CD Projekt Red has previously acknowledged. Sirius has been described as a “full‑fledged game” with multiplayer elements, set in a different part of the timeline. The co‑op nature, character creation, and skill systems all fit the description. If true, this might be the final form of a project that has been in development for several years.
What This Means for Fans
A co‑op game is a significant departure from the single‑player, story‑driven formula of the main series. But it also opens up new possibilities: exploring iconic locations like White Orchard, Velen, and Novigrad with friends, or venturing into uncharted parts of the Continent. The year 1230 is largely unexplored in the games, offering CDPR creative freedom.
The mobile focus is interesting. It suggests a more accessible, perhaps free‑to‑play or premium mobile title, but with cross‑play on PC. Given the success of games like Genshin Impact and Monster Hunter Now, a co‑op Witcher on mobile could reach a massive audience.

Official Word Still Pending
As with all leaks, take this with a grain of salt. CD Projekt Red has not confirmed any details. However, the consistency with Project Sirius and the Scopely partnership makes this leak more plausible than most. An official announcement could come later this year – perhaps during a CDPR showcase.
Until then, fans can dream of hunting monsters with friends, wielding signs in tandem, and forging their own legend in the Continent’s distant past.
The Witcher franchise continues to grow. The next mainline game, The Witcher 4 (starring Ciri), is expected in 2028 or 2029. The co‑op spin‑off has no confirmed release window
