Global Marketing Lead Paweł Panaszuk described a studio founded in 2022 that grew from 20 people to 166, built the game on a 40 million dollar budget, and shipped a single-player RPG with no in-game purchases.
The studio's entrance wall reads "A STUDIO BORN OUT OF LOVE FOR RPGs," and Paweł Panaszuk argues the line is not a commonplace. Many founding members came from CD PROJEKT RED, with credits on The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077, and the stated reason for leaving was to make a game without stock market pressure.
Rebel Wolves started in 2022 with 20 people doing concept art and story writing. It now has 166 employees. The Blood of Dawnwalker is set in 14th-century Europe, draws its world from medieval Romania and Poland, and was conceived as a saga from the planning stage. Bandai Namco Entertainment publishes it.
