A job listing on the CD Projekt Red website suggests that the studio is looking to implement a multiplayer mode for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, currently known as Project Orion. While Cyberpunk 2077 was originally intended to feature multiplayer, the mode was eventually scrapped due to the game's controversial launch back in 2020.

There is a slim chance that this job advertisement is for The Molasses Flood's upcoming multiplayer Witcher game, also known as Project Sirius, and not specifically Cyberpunk 2077's sequel. However, given that the CD Projekt Red website has a separate section for its subsidiary studio, it seems unlikely that a job listing relevant to The Molasses Flood would be under any other section on the site.

Report: Cyberpunk 2077's Sequel Could Feature Multiplayer
 
CDPR excels at massive single player RPGs boasting extreme levels of environmental detail and phenomenal writing.

Multiplayer isn’t in their wheelhouse, and I think it would be a mistake for them to attempt to branch into that market. They wouldn’t be able to do it better than developers that specialize in multiplayer games,
 
This would be great news. What an amazing experience it would be to play Co-Op with friends in the Cyberpunk world. GTA 5 was fantastic and Cyberpunk would be next level.
 
This was already planned for 2077 but it got canned. Multiplayer capabilities still exist in the current game engine.

As long as it remains an optional mode, I don't see a problem.
