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

Former developers of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 at Rebel Wolves have introduced their new project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. Although the game isn't aiming for the full AAA scale, the team's aspirations are sky-high. Rebel Wolves' founder, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, shared that their goal is to achieve the quality of The Witcher 3, but on a more manageable scale:

“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 game is anticipated to take around 30-40 hours to complete, which Tomaszkiewicz puts into perspective:

“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 also dismissed industry labels such as "AAA" and "AAAA" as irrelevant.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action RPG where players control a half-vampire who has 30 days and 30 nights to save his loved ones. The game introduces a time limit while ensuring a seamless gaming experience. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, it will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, though a specific release date has yet to be announced.
