Rebel Wolves Aim for Witcher 3 Quality in The Blood of Dawnwalker

The former developers of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 at Rebel Wolves have recently announced their new project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. Although not aiming for the full scope of a AAA game, the team's ambitions remain sky-high. Rebel Wolves’ founder, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, emphasized that while the studio is smaller and this is their debut project, their goal is to achieve the quality seen in The Witcher 3, albeit on a more manageable 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 in 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 critiqued the industry's use of labels such as “AAA” and “AAAA,” deeming them irrelevant.

In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players will step into the shoes of a half-vampire tasked with saving their loved ones within a critical 30-day and 30-night timeframe. Despite the time constraint, the game promises a seamless experience. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, it will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, though a specific release date has yet to be announced.
