Following the releases of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, several key figures from CD Projekt RED departed to pursue independent projects. Among them, a group formed Rebel Wolves studio, the creators of the recently announced Blood of Dawnwalker.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, a CD Projekt RED veteran, shed light on his decision to leave the company. Key takeaways from his explanation include:

The desire to explore innovative approaches to role-playing games (RPGs) with a close-knit team was a primary motivator in establishing Rebel Wolves. Tomaszkiewicz and his colleagues believed existing RPG conventions could be significantly enhanced, leading to the development of unconventional game design concepts. The difficulty in convincing a large corporation to embrace such radical changes and work with entirely new intellectual property prompted the decision to form their own studio. This independent approach allows for greater risk-taking in the pursuit of innovative solutions.

Rebel Wolves prioritizes strong interpersonal relationships and open communication within its small team. This collaborative environment fosters a shared creative vision and facilitates a more agile development process. The smaller team structure allows for a more intense creative energy and a greater focus on developing something truly unique.
