"Dawnwalker Director Reveals Exit from CDPR, Launches Own Studio"

After the release of acclaimed titles like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, not all the experts at CD Projekt RED remained with the company. Some chose to embark on a new journey with The Blood of Dawnwalker. This new game was recently unveiled and is being developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by a veteran from CD Projekt RED, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz shed light on his decision to leave CDPR, highlighting his motivations and vision for the future. He stated, "I wanted to do something different with my friends, so I started Rebel Wolves. Naturally, we have a strong interest in role-playing games and their history. [But] I believe that these RPG rules can be developed and expanded. We came up with some wild ideas. Since it would be difficult to persuade any large corporation to change and do something novel, you know [to work with brand-new] intellectual property, we came to the realization that if we wanted to do them, we would need to open our own studio. Since we're working on some novel solutions, it's actually risky."

Tomaszkiewicz further explained the advantages of working in a smaller studio: "Unlike in large studios where it's more complicated, we work with people and between people [relationships] in our studio. A small team, in my opinion, is capable of more because there is communication among members and discussing the vision is simpler. Feeling the 'creative fire' and creating something unique is simpler."
