MULTI The Witcher spin-off (Project Sirius) studio hit with layoffs after reboot

Last week on May 11, CD Projekt announced The Witcher's Project Sirius was effectively back on track, having been successfully rebooted from its original vision.

Officially, we've heard no word from The Molasses Flood or CD Projekt announcing layoffs for its developers. Former technical narrative designer Robert Bailey revealed via his personal Twitter account that he'd unfortunately been laid off from the Boston-based studio last week.

Elsewhere, it seems like The Molasses Flood's art department has also been impacted by the layoffs. Environment artist Eleanore Falck announced via her Twitter account that she'd been laid off alongside Bailey on the same day, and both are now on the hunt for new opportunities.
