A few months ago, we learned that several CD Projekt Red veterans associated with The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 had come together to form Rebel Wolves, a new studio focused on fantasy games. An ambitious study which announced that Dawnwalker would be their first title, a triple-A dark fantasy RPG.
A project about which very little is known, but which has caught the attention of Bandai Namco, which has just revealed that it will be responsible for publishing it in digital and physical formats.
A union with global reach
An announcement that took place today, October 21, 2024, in which confirmed the union of the two companies for the successful landing of this interesting title. An ideal union according to Tomasz Tinc, editorial director of Rebel Wolves, who assures that Bandai is a company known for its dedication to role-playing games and for its strong willingness to engage in new IP licenses.
Rebel Wolves is a new studio built on solid foundations: a combination of experience and fresh energy. Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe, a company known for its dedication to the RPG genre and willingness to engage in new intellectual property, is a perfect fit for our wolf pack. Not only does he share our values, but his experience publishing narrative RPGs speaks for itself. We look forward to working with them to bring the first chapter of the Dawnwalker saga to players around the world.
In turn, Alberto González, vice president of business development at Bandai Namco Europe, said that this collaboration constitutes a new step in its strategy for the Western market. A union that will allow Dawnwalker to reach a global scale and audience.
This is another key milestone in our content development strategy for the Western market. By combining forces, we will bring this first game from the studio to a global audience. We’re excited about the universe that Rebel Wolves has created through its extremely talented team of developers, which is a great addition to our portfolio.
For those who are not up to date, Dawnwalker is described as a single-player narrative sandbox RPG. Developed under Unreal Enigne 5, it boasts some great talent closely tied to some of the most influential RPGs in the industry, like Konrad Tomaszkiewicz who founded Rebel Wolves after his work as director on The Witcher 3.
We are delighted to announce that we have signed a publishing deal with @BandaiNamcoEU! 🥳
BNE will become the global publisher of our first game Dawnwalker – a AAA dark fantasy sandbox narrative action RPG set in medieval Europe.
