Rebel Wolves Aim for Witcher 3 Quality in Blood of Dawnwalker

The team at Rebel Wolves, comprised of former developers from The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, has introduced their new project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. Although not aiming for a full AAA scale, the studio's ambitions are sky-high. Rebel Wolves' founder, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, emphasized that the team is targeting the quality of The Witcher 3 but on a more compact scale:

“We want AAA quality, like The Witcher 3—that’s our heritage. But as a small studio on our first project, we’re creating something more compact yet just as polished.”

The Blood of Dawnwalker is designed to offer a complete experience within 30-40 hours:

“Comparing anything to The Witcher 3, which was meant to last 100+ hours but often exceeded 200-300 hours, is crazy. But is size what makes a game AAA? Call of Duty is AAA without a massive campaign. So, does scale really matter?”

Tomaszkiewicz also dismissed the industry labels such as “AAA” and “AAAA” as irrelevant. The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action RPG that follows the journey of a half-vampire on a mission to save his loved ones within a tight 30-day and 30-night timeframe. Despite the time limit, the game promises a seamless experience. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, it is set to release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, though an exact release date has not yet been disclosed.
