Could CD Projekt Be Considering Multiplayer and PS3 for The Witcher 3?

Richard Walker

The Witcher developer CD Projekt RED is hiring for a 'Multiplayer Programmer' to work on an RPG set in a "dark fantasy world" and its second project: an RPG based in a cyberpunk world. It's thought that the dark fantasy in question could be a follow-up to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which could mean multiplayer might find its way into The Witcher 3. Erm... Both games could also be coming to PlayStation 3.

The successful candidate will be required to work with the developer's proprietary RED Engine and must have "experience in developing RPG games", "experience with physics in a multiplayer environment" and "experience creating gameplay systems in a multiplayer environment". They'll also need to have "at least one shipped multi-platform, multiplayer title" and experience "with matchmaking solutions on different platforms".

That means that both CD Projekt's mystery cyberpunk RPG project and what seems to clearly be The Witcher 3 will be going multi-platform, and both could potentially have a multiplayer component. How that will work is anyone's guess, but whatever the case, the news that it could potentially be coming to PS3 is great news. It could also bode well for a possible port of The Witcher 2 on PS3. We can hope...

Could The Witcher 3's multiplayer be something worthwhile, or is it a case of shoehorning in a feature that the single-player story-driven RPG doesn't need? Discuss!

  • I find it really strange that they didnt port the Witcher 2 for PS3. They have no exclusivity whatsoever. Porting the game for PS3 would only make CD Projekt RED more money... Are they really that bad at working with the PS3?
  • last time i checked that ughhh game could have come onto the ps3, but sony wanted them to cut back on the gross lady bits and they said no, so it didn't come out on the PS3, so yeah don't think either will change their stance on that one.
  • Played the second and first games on pc and they sucked. Won't be getting the third unless they improve the game dramatically and bring it to the PS3 console. But they probably don't know how to code for the PS3 so I won't be holding my breath.
  • @3, You obviously don't know a great game when you play it... One of the best games ever!
  • @4 I agree, I played the first game on PC and it was fantastic. Hoping they would port the sequel to PS3.
  • I'll believe it when I'll see it.
  • @2 Are u serious? lol! They are a small studio and they choose to port to xbox 360 because it was easier to do that then ps3! but they did say that they might port to ps3 once the 360 one was out so we will see!
  • @4 It's a difference in opinion, no idea the guys history but if he played both then he just didn't like them, some people rather mc donalds over a dish by a master chef @7 You sir are correct, that is why alot of devs do 360 games these days.
  • who wants a dust514 beta code .... msg me
  • Not a big fan of these games but I know a lot of people that are so hopefully it will be on ps3
  • why should i buy this or Witcher 2 if i can't play Wither 1 on my PS3 ? i wanna play the series as a WHOLE not incomplete. bring out 1 for PS3 and then i'll get interested
  • @1 - Cost. They weren't big enough to focus on more than one major project at a time. They'd tried contracting a console port of the first game, but that went sour and was shelved. I'd like to see it resurrected, as I loved it, but there would need to be a lot of changes made as it's very obviously designed with the PC in mind.
