Witcher 3 veterans Rebel Wolves to reveal new game next month

Polish studio Rebel Wolves has revealed the title of its debut game and confirmed a reveal event for next month.

The Warsaw-based studio, co-founded in 2022 by the art and game directors of The Witcher 3, is working on the first entry in what it calls the Dawnwalker saga.

The first chapter, The Blood of Dawnwalker, is described as a “dark fantasy narrative sandbox action RPG” with a strong focus on story and narrative. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, published by Bandai Namco.

On Sunday, Bandai Namco announced a 45-minute reveal event scheduled for January 13 at 4 pm ET / 9 pm GMT. “Gather and watch 14th century medieval Europe confront the legends through the eyes of Dawnwalker,” it said.

“Hear about Vale Sangora: its turbulent history, its natural landscapes and its secret inhabitants. Witness the premiere of a CGI trailer that serves as the opening of the game, learn about the main pillars and concepts of the game, including the origins, world, lore, story, narrative and art, and take a small look at its gameplay”.

CD Projekt Red veteran Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz joined Rebel Wolves as creative director in January. He spent nearly 13 years at CD Projekt, during which time he held roles such as lead quest designer on The Witcher 3 and its expansions, and quest director on Cyberpunk 2077.
