The former developers of *The Witcher 3* and *Cyberpunk 2077* at Rebel Wolves have announced their latest project, *The Blood of Dawnwalker*. While not aiming for a full AAA scale, the team's ambitions remain high. Rebel Wolves' founder, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, emphasized their goal to achieve *The Witcher 3*-level quality in a more compact form:
“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 Blood of Dawnwalker* is designed to offer a complete experience in 30-40 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 dismissed industry labels like “AAA” and “AAAA” as meaningless, focusing instead on delivering a high-quality gaming experience.
In *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, players take on the role of a half-vampire with a critical mission to save their loved ones within a tight timeframe of 30 days and 30 nights. Despite the time limit, the game promises a smooth and engaging experience. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, *The Blood of Dawnwalker* will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, though a specific release date has yet to be announced.
