Blood Of Dawnwalker Dev Explains Departure from CDPR, Establishes New Studio

Following the releases of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, several key figures from CD Projekt RED departed to pursue independent ventures. Among them, a group formed Rebel Wolves, the studio behind the newly announced Blood of Dawnwalker.

Rebel Wolves, established by a CD Projekt RED veteran, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, recently revealed details about their ambitious project. Tomaszkiewicz explained his departure from CDPR, highlighting several key factors:

The desire to explore new creative avenues with trusted colleagues fueled the creation of Rebel Wolves. Their shared passion for RPGs and their rich history is undeniable, but they envisioned pushing the boundaries of established RPG conventions. They conceived innovative and unconventional game mechanics. However, convincing a large corporation to embrace such radical changes, especially with a new intellectual property, proved too challenging. The decision to establish their own studio emerged as the only path to realizing their bold vision.

This innovative approach carries inherent risks. Unlike the complexities of large studios, Rebel Wolves prioritizes direct collaboration and open communication within its smaller team. Tomaszkiewicz believes this fosters a more agile and efficient development process, enabling quicker iteration and a stronger shared creative vision. This close-knit structure allows for a more intense creative energy and facilitates the development of truly unique gameplay experiences.
