The Witcher spin-off studio The Molasses Flood has been absorbed into parent company CD Projekt Red.

The news was shared with a brief statement on the studio's website. "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," the notice reads.

"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 studio assured that this merger "will not affect the availability or distribution of The Flame in The Flood and Drake Hollow video games", and these titles will continue to be published by CD Projekt Group.

In a post on LinkedIn, The Molasses Flood co-founder Damian Isla called this merger a "GOOD AND HEALTHY thing for the studio", and something that had been expected for some time now.

"It breaks down some organisational barriers, and better integrates the TMF team with the rest of the amazing CDPR org," Isla wrote, before announcing he had departed the studio.

"Last Monday - the last day of TMF's legal existence! - was also my last day at the studio," the developer shared. "Obviously this is a big change. TMF has been a huge part of my life for the past decade plus, and I'm proud [to] have been a part of building something that lasted as long as TMF did, in a market environment often quite hostile to tiny teams like ours."

Interesting:

"It breaks down some organizational barriers, and better integrates the TMF team with the rest of the amazing CDPR org," Isla explains in his LinkedIn post. "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."

Better than being shutdown I guess.
