Rebel Wolves Set Sights on The Witcher 3 Level Quality for The Blood of Dawnwalker

Former The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developers at Rebel Wolves have unveiled their ambitious new project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. While not aiming for a full-scale AAA title, the team's aspirations are undeniably high.

Rebel Wolves' founder, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, clarified the studio's vision: "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 game's estimated playtime is a substantial 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 further downplayed the significance of industry labels like "AAA" and "AAAA," dismissing them as ultimately meaningless.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action RPG centered around a half-vampire racing against time—30 days and 30 nights—to save his loved ones. Despite the inherent time-limit pressure, the developers promise a smooth and engaging experience. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, although a concrete release date remains unannounced.
