In February 2022, we talked regarding the creation of Rebel Wolves, a new studio founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and former members of CD Projekt Red, with the aim of working on an RPG under Unreal Engine 5. Today, new details regarding this famous game are coming to us, and it’s very tempting.
A new RPG that wants to revolutionize the genre
According to the latest news, this first game which should kick off a “new AAA dark fantasy narrative saga for PC and next-gen consoles” would be called DAWNWALKER: ORIGINS, and would therefore be the first opus of the DAWNWALKER franchise. .
According to recent information collected by @kurakasis and published on its Twitter account, this name was registered in 2021 in Europe and in January 2022 in the USA by the studio, and appears several times on the Rebel Wolves website and the Linkedin profiles of its members.
The team in charge of the project would also be made up of around a hundred people, and despite the arrival of NetEase as a shareholder, the studio “remains creatively independent”.
In a article dating from 2022, it was mentioned that the game would not be as “gigantic” as The Witcher, but would potentially offer more quests, and a scope similar to that of The Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine expansion.
Kurakasis shared some other interesting points regarding the game which you can find below:
- The game has entered Alpha phase
- This is exclusively an offline single player game
- There will be no microtransactions
- There will be no platform-exclusive items or quests
Towards a release in 2025?
As always, remember that what is mentioned above may be subject to change and we must therefore take this information with a grain of salt. The same goes for the release date of the title, which was announced for 2025 by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, co-founder of the studio, in February 2022.
A lot may have happened since then and Tomaszkiewicz mentioned at the time having taken into account his experience on the development of Cyberpunk 2077, specifying that the new team “will not rush the release of the game and will take its time to complete the project.
To wait, some concept art has also been spotted and allows us to get a first idea of the direction of the game. It goes without saying that we can’t wait to find out more regarding this very ambitious project.
