Last year, former developers at CD Projekt Red formed their own studio, Rebel Wolves. The new developer has now announced their first title, a dark fantasy story-driven RPG called Dawnwalker, which from the title and the initial artwork, gives off some vampiric undertones.
“Throughout all my years in game development, story-driven role-playing adventures have always been something I was most passionate about,” said Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, Rebel Wolves’ new Creative Director. “For me, nothing beats being able to fully immerse myself and discover handcrafted stories and worlds. There are so many fantastic RPGs out there today, however, I feel that there’s not only enough space but also a hunger among players for more captivating stories.”
Tomaszkiewicz joins a team of industry veterans who have worked on The Witcher series, as well as Cyberpunk 2077. According to the press release, Dawnwalker has officially entered the alpha stage of development, and the team plans to share more about the game later this year.
“We want to craft a world that you will want to explore and dive deep into and tell stories that make you care about the characters,” explains Tomaszkiewicz. “We aim to deliver an experience that will allow for a variety of choices and room for experimentation when replayed.”
And speaking of The Witcher, not only is CD Projekt Red in the midst of developing a remake of the original game, but also a new entry in the series. And on the TV front, Laurence Fishburne has joined the Netflix series for its upcoming 4th season as Regis.
