Rebel Wolves, the studio founded by former developers of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, has recently announced their new project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. Although the game isn't aiming for the full scope of a AAA title, the team's aspirations are nothing short of ambitious. Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, the founder of Rebel Wolves, has expressed that the studio is striving for the same level of quality seen in 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.”
Players can expect to spend between 30 to 40 hours completing The Blood of Dawnwalker. Tomaszkiewicz puts this into perspective by comparing it to The Witcher 3, which was designed to last over 100 hours but often saw players dedicating 200 to 300 hours:
“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?”
Tomaszkiewicz also challenges the relevance of industry labels such as “AAA” and “AAAA,” dismissing them as essentially meaningless. The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action RPG that follows the journey of a half-vampire protagonist who has 30 days and 30 nights to save his loved ones. The game introduces a time limit mechanic but promises a seamless experience for players. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, The Blood of Dawnwalker is set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
