This is what made The Witcher: Monster Slayer such a unique experience in The Witcher franchise.” “Moving forward, we plan to roll Spokko into CD Projekt, with a part of its staff given the opportunity to join core CD Projekt Red development projects. During this transition, there will be some staff members who will, unfortunately, be let go. However, we will do our best to support all of our employees affected by this situation and ensure the transition to the next step in their careers is as easy and safe as possible.” This isn’t the only Witcher spin-off to be canned as the CD Project Red reshapes its business. Yesterday the company announced plans to wind down support for Gwent, its Witcher card game. The Witcher: Monster Slayer only released in July last year, to middling reviews. Bertie’s impressions of the game at the time largely reflected that.
