Witcher Multiplayer Project Sirius Hires Destiny 2 Narrative Lead

CD Projekt Red has added a high-profile writer to Project Sirius, the Witcher multiplayer spin-off in development at the studio’s Boston hub. Kwan Perng, who served as narrative lead on Destiny 2: The Final Shape, announced he has joined as lead writer.

What’s new and what’s confirmed

Perng shared the move in a post on LinkedIn, saying he’s now the lead writer on Project Sirius and is digging into the Witcher universe. That’s an on-the-record hire from the developer involved, which is as solid as it gets for a staffing update.

CD Projekt Red has repeatedly described Sirius as a Witcher title with multiplayer at its core. A recent listing for a lead writer at the Boston studio explicitly referenced “a multiplayer game set within the world of The Witcher,” further underlining the project’s direction and the seniority of the role Perng has taken on. You can see that wording on the job description.

Why this matters for Project Sirius

Project Sirius has had a bumpy road, including a reboot in 2023, so concrete hires help show where the team is investing. Bringing in a writer who’s led narrative on a large, live game like Destiny 2 suggests CDPR wants Sirius to balance Witcher-world storytelling with systems and structures that make sense for multiplayer.

For players, the signal is twofold: story chops that fit the Witcher brand, and live-game experience that could shape how quests, characters, and progression slot into a cooperative or social framework. It also aligns with CDPR’s ongoing buildout of its North American hub, where Sirius is being developed alongside other projects.

The state of play

There’s still no trailer, release window, or gameplay detail beyond “multiplayer in the Witcher universe,” and nothing in Perng’s note changes that. But staffing is newsworthy when a project is quiet, and this one is a clear, verifiable step. Until CDPR shows more, this is the latest concrete update on Sirius—and a hint that narrative is a priority even with multiplayer in the mix.
