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 goal: achieving The 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 anticipated playtime is a respectable 30-40 hours. Tomaszkiewicz addressed the inevitable comparisons to The Witcher 3's extensive playtime: “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 the significance of industry labels like "AAA" and "AAAA," deeming them largely irrelevant.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action RPG centered around a half-vampire racing against time—30 days and 30 nights to be exact—to save his loved ones. Despite the inherent time limit, 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, though a concrete release date is yet to be announced.
