Game Director Exits CDPR, Launches Own Studio

Following the releases of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, several key figures from CD Projekt RED departed to pursue independent ventures. Among them, a notable group formed Rebel Wolves studio, the creators of the recently announced The Blood of Dawnwalker.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, a CDPR veteran, shed light on his decision to leave the established company. Key takeaways from his explanation include:

A desire for creative independence and innovation drove the formation of Rebel Wolves. The team, comprised of like-minded RPG enthusiasts, envisioned pushing the boundaries of traditional RPG mechanics and exploring unconventional gameplay concepts. The difficulty in convincing a large corporation to embrace such radical, original intellectual property led them to establish their own studio. This inherently carries a higher risk compared to working within a larger, more established structure.

Tomaszkiewicz highlighted the benefits of a smaller team dynamic. He emphasized the streamlined communication and collaborative vision fostered by a close-knit group, enabling quicker creative iteration and a stronger sense of shared purpose. This close-knit environment fosters a more intense creative energy and facilitates the development of unique game designs.
