The Molasses Flood has confirmed that the outfit has now officially merged with CD Projekt RED, with one of the company’s co-founders taking the opportunity to hype up the in-development Project Sirius as they depart the studio, promising it’ll be nothing short of “an amazing game.”
We want to let you know that on April 1, 2025, The Molasses Flood LLC (‘TMF’) merged with CD PROJEKT RED Inc. (‘CDPR Inc.’), a company being a part of the CD PROJEKT Group. As a result of the merger TMF, in its former legal state (of a separate legal entity) ceased its operations, while CDPR Inc. assumed the rights and obligations of TMF. The merger will not affect the availability or distribution of ‘The Flame in The Flood’ and ‘Drake Hollow’ video games, which will continue to be published by CD PROJEKT Group.
Damian Isla, co-founder of The Molasses Flood, announced his departure from the company but assured fans that The Witcher spin-off, Project Sirius is in good hands.
On the sadder side — not to bury the lede — I’ve decided not to follow TMF on this transition. So last Monday — the last day of TMF’s legal existence! — was also my last day at the studio.
Overall, it shows a very bright future for Project Sirius (aka ‘the multiplayer Witcher game,’ of which I was the Design Director for three years). It’s going to be an amazing game, one for the books, and I cannot wait until the rest of the world learns about what we’ve been working on.
Project Sirius has yet to receive a release date, although back in June 2023 The Molasses Flood was one of many studios that suffered layoffs.
