Blood Of Dawnwalker Creator Exits CDPR, Establishes Studio

Following the releases of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, not all CD Projekt RED veterans remained with the company. Some chose to form Rebel Wolves, the studio behind the recently announced The Blood of Dawnwalker.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, a key figure in the departure, detailed his reasons for leaving CDPR. Key takeaways include:

A desire for creative independence and innovation led Tomaszkiewicz and his colleagues to establish Rebel Wolves. Their passion for RPGs and their history fueled a desire to push boundaries and explore unconventional ideas. The difficulty in convincing a large corporation to embrace such radical changes and new intellectual property prompted the decision to create their own studio. This independent approach allows for risk-taking and experimentation.

Rebel Wolves prioritizes a collaborative and communicative work environment. The smaller team structure facilitates open dialogue, shared vision, and a stronger sense of creative energy. This fosters a more agile and innovative process compared to the complexities of larger studios.
