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

Rebel Wolves, a studio comprised of former developers from The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, has unveiled their ambitious new title, The Blood of Dawnwalker. While not aiming for a full-scale AAA experience, the team's aspirations are undeniably high.

Studio founder Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz clarified their goal: achieving Witcher 3-level quality, albeit on a smaller scale. He stated, "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 estimated playtime is significantly shorter than The Witcher 3: a projected 30-40 hours. Tomaszkiewicz addressed this difference, questioning the industry's reliance on scale to define AAA status: "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?"

He further dismissed industry classifications like "AAA" and "AAAA" 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 rescue his loved ones. Despite the time-sensitive narrative, the developers promise a streamlined and enjoyable experience. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with the release date yet to be announced.
