The Blood of Dawnwalker Devs Aim for Witcher 3 Quality

Rebel Wolves, a studio comprised of former CD Projekt Red developers, is developing The Blood of Dawnwalker, an open-world vampire RPG aiming for the quality of The Witcher 3, albeit on a smaller scale. This article delves into the upcoming title and the developers' vision.

A Focused, High-Quality Experience

The Blood of Dawnwalker:  A 30-40 Hour Campaign

In an interview with GamesRadar, Creative Director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz clarified the studio's ambition. Despite being a smaller team launching their first game, they're targeting AAA quality, citing The Witcher 3 as their benchmark. While acknowledging the game's smaller scope compared to established AAA titles, Tomaszkiewicz emphasized a commitment to robust quality. The anticipated playtime for the main campaign is 30-40 hours. He challenged the notion that playtime alone defines AAA status, pointing out shorter AAA games like Call of Duty.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a narrative-driven, open-world dark fantasy RPG set in Vale Sangora. Players assume the role of Coen, a young peasant granted vampiric powers, embarking on a quest to save his sister while navigating the dangers of this mystical land.
