Development
[edit]Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, a director on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015) and head of production for Cyberpunk 2077 (2020), left his job at CD Projekt in May 2021 following an investigation into workplace bullying allegations. Afterward, he took a long break to consider his next steps. Having spent 17 years at the company, he wanted to shift to smaller projects with a smaller team, hoping to avoid the challenges he faced while working on large-scale games at CD Projekt.[1] In February 2022, it was announced that Tomaszkiewicz had founded a new studio, Rebel Wolves, which was working on its debut project.[2] The development team includes Tomaszkiewicz's brother and creative director Mateusz,[1][3] design director Daniel Sadowski, narrative director Jakub Szamalek, and art director Bartłomiej Gaweł, all of whom previously worked on The Witcher games and Cyberpunk 2077.[2] By May 2024, Rebel Wolves had expanded from around 20 to 90 people. The studio described Dawnwalker as a dark fantasy "narrative sandbox" with non-linear quests.[1] The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5.[2] Its title was revealed in January 2024.[4]
