Summary
The Witchermultiplayer game, codenamed Project Sirius, is set to be an online multiplayer version of the beloved series. This exciting take onThe Witcherfranchise is a bold new direction for CD Projekt Red and its subsidiary, The Molasses Flood. Although there isn’t much known about the project yet, an online version ofThe Witcherwould be smart to take note of an in-game feature that has keptGTA Onlinethriving for years.
When it comes to games that have spawned incredibly successful online modes,GTA Onlineis king. For over 10 years,GTA Onlinehas managed to thrive despite its age, and just one of the many reasons the game continues to keep players engaged is because of its in-game currency.GTA Onlinehas built its own in-game economythat has been at the heart of the mode, and Project Sirius would be smart to do the same.
Project Sirius Building Its Own Economy
Project Sirius offering a multiplayer game set inThe Witcheruniverse means a whole new level of immersion in the world CD Projekt Red has built. There are many immersivefeatures that Project Sirius could embrace, but an in-game economy is an important mechanic that can really give the game some serious longevity.
GTA Online Is A Blueprint For Online Games
GTA Onlinehas continued to succeed for over a decade, and although the imminent arrival ofGTA 6raises questions about the game’s future,GTA Onlinebeing able to be just as popular as its base game is impressive. One of the mostaddictive parts about playingGTA Onlineis that its in-game money is tied to purchasing some incredible items, whether it be new vehicles or a high-end apartment. These purchases bring immersion to the next level, andThe Witcherwould benefit from studying how Rockstar implements this in-game economy to make the world of Project Sirius feel like there’s a lot to be gained by playing.
WithWitchers being monster slayers for hire, having a strongly crafted economy featured in the game would be a great way to make players feel like they’re truly doing the hard work of a Witcher.GTA Online’s money is a great reward for completing heists and missions, and if players are going to become truly immersed in the role of a Witcher, the rewards need to be worth it.
The Key To Project Sirius' Longevity
Although the prospect of an onlineWitchergame is exciting, it can be quite difficult to keep players coming back. There is some seriously stiff competition in the world of online titles, and if some players get bored, it’s hard to get them to return.Project Sirius is going to be a daring adaptationof the game’s world, and Projekt CD Red and The Molasses Flood need to ensure the game contains enough content and events to keep players satisfied for years to come.
A game that finally allows players to create their own Witcher is a fun idea, but to truly live out one’s fantasies as a Witcher, players must be rewarded like one. Offering players the chance to work for money to buy better weapons or even a house for their character would be a great experience. The amount of money a player has in Project Sirius creates an exciting level of competition between players that could make Project Sirius a fun raceagainst other Witchersin order to get the biggest payout for kills. It may seem like a small feature on the surface, but including a well-crafted in-game economy could actually be the key to Project Sirius' longtime success.
