The gaming landscape witnessed a significant shift as The Molasses Flood, a developer based in Boston, has now become part of the renowned Polish gaming powerhouse, CD Projekt Red. This exciting development was announced in a statement on The Molasses Flood’s website, revealing that as of April 1st, the studio has officially integrated with the creators of Cyberpunk 2077. Importantly, The Molasses Flood reassured fans that its earlier creations—The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow—won’t be impacted by this merge, following its acquisition by CD Projekt in 2021. Currently, the team is deeply immersed in developing Project Sirius, a multiplayer escapade set in the famed universe of The Witcher.
In tandem with this major announcement, Damian Isla, the founder of The Molasses Flood, has decided to part ways with the studio. Reflecting on this change, he shared his thoughts on LinkedIn, expressing, “This is obviously a significant transition. Over the past decade and more, TMF has been a monumental chapter in my life. I take immense pride in having built something enduring in an industry that can often be unkind to small teams like ours. Our journey led to the creation of some truly beautiful, memorable, and quirky projects. Throughout, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the kindest, most talented, and generous individuals in the gaming world.”
