[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58731, member: 1"] CD Projekt Red is re-evaluating The Molasses Flood's upcoming Witcher game, codenamed Sirius, and has filed an impairment charge as a result. Twitter user Game Over Thirty (below) shared [URL='https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/investors/regulatory-announcements/current-report-no-8-2023/']an announcement to investors[/URL] from CD Projekt Red, indicating that all may not be well with one of the many upcoming Witcher games. An impairment charge is filed by a business to write off assets that have dropped in value or been lost completely. What this means for the game is currently unclear, though it is possible that CD Projekt Red has essentially reset development. It has denied the project is scrapped altogether, however, as senior communication manager Paweł Burza told IGN that "our current focus is ensuring that Project Sirius is aligned with the strategy of the CD PROJEKT Group. "At this point in time, we are neither providing insight into the evaluation of the project nor the potential future frameworks thereof." [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/cd-projekt-red-new-games-witcher-cyberpunk-polaris-canis-majoris-sirius-orion-hadar']Sirius was announced in October last year alongside three other new Witcher games[/URL].

It would be one of the first developers outside of CD Projekt Red's core studios to create a Witcher game, alongside [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/cd-projekt-red-announces-a-remake-of-the-witcher-in-unreal-engine-5']Fool's Theory who are working on The Witcher Remake[/URL].
