CD Projekt Red has enlisted Destiny 2: The Final Shape’s narrative lead for The Witcher multiplayer spin-off Project Sirius

CD Projekt Red has appointed Kwan Perng as lead writer for Project Sirius, the studio’s upcoming multiplayer spin-off in The Witcher universe. Perng brings significant experience from acclaimed live-service titles, having served as a main writer on Destiny 2’s celebrated expansion The Final Shape and Guild Wars 2’s End of Dragons expansion.

Perng announced the hire via social media, stating they are immersing themselves in The Witcher’s “dark and eclectic universe” while noting that details about the project remain under wraps for now. The appointment reflects CD Projekt Red’s effort to secure experienced narrative talent capable of building compelling storytelling within a multiplayer environment.

Project Sirius represents a notable shift for CD Projekt Red, marking the studio’s venture into live-service multiplayer gaming within The Witcher franchise, departing from its traditional single-player narrative focus. Perng’s background developing narratives for large-scale multiplayer games positions them well to integrate storytelling with multiplayer mechanics and live-service design demands. Few public details about Project Sirius have been disclosed, though the timing of this senior narrative hire suggests the project is advancing toward a more mature development stage. Neither a release window nor additional information about the game’s scope or features have been announced.
