History
[edit]On February 16, 2022: Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, a video game director on The Witcher 3 and co-director for Cyberpunk 2077 had announced he was leaving CD Projekt to form his own studio, Rebel Wolves to gain independent freedom to create its own universe.[1] The studio had quickly lined up its first project, a AAA dark fantasy game built using Unreal Engine 5.[2]
In November, the company had secured a strategic investment from NetEase Games, who also had acquired a minority stake in the company.[3] With Rebel able to retain full creative control and ownership of its intellectual property.[4]
On January 15, 2024, the official studio's account makes an announcement on X: "Usually we don't comment on rumours. However, since we've heard something through the grapevine... Yes, we are working on Dawnwalker!",[5] with a promotional picture of what looks like a vampire wielding a medieval sword on a dark, red misty background. The game is still in an early stage of development. There is no release date that has been set yet.[6]
