In February 2022, former designers from CD Projekt Red announced the formation of a new studio called Rebel Wolves. The team revealed that its first project will, unsurprisingly, be an RPG, and today we learned some additional details about the game, including its title.
The game is called Dawnwalker, and Rebel Wolves describes it as a “story-driven dark fantasy role-playing adventure.” Described as the team’s dream RPG project, the game has officially entered the alpha phase of development, and Rebel Wolves plans to share more information about it later this year.
The studio also announced another CD Projekt alumnus Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz as the game’s creative director. Tomaszkiewicz’s credits include Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Thronbreaker: The Witcher Tales.
“We want to make a world that you want to explore, delve into, and tell stories that make you care about the characters,” Tomaskiewicz said in a press release. “We aim to deliver an experience that allows for a variety of options and room to experiment when we reboot. Helping craft this experience with so many talented people will be my mission at Rebel Wolves, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what the team has been intending to do for a long time now.”
Rebel Wolves hasn’t shared any other information about Dawnwalker, so questions about its premise, narrative, mechanics, and platforming won’t be answered until later this year hopefully. Until then, the team has released a piece of promotional art, posted above, that should help fuel the imagination about what the team is cooking up.
