After years of quiet work, Rebel Wolves, a studio made up of ex-CD Projekt Red developers, unveiled a cinematic and gameplay teaser for its first project, .
The game seems to bring back everything that fans of loved, except the protagonist has the powers of a vampire, rather than the spells and mutations of a Witcher, and the game takes place in 14th-century Europe during the time of the Black Death.
Described as a dark fantasy, narrative sandbox on its website, it feels a lot like a CD Projekt Red title. Players will take control of Coen, a Dawnwalker, which seems to be similar to a dhampir in classic fantasy (a half-human, half-vampire) and poses the moral question of how much the human soul is worth compared to the power being a vampire gives the protagonist. With complex morals, a dark fantasy world, and a super-soldier-like character with long, tied hair, it feels like a checkbox of everything fans loved about, but there is one feature in the game that both sets it apart and has proved somewhat controversial.
With the developer's previous work on, will likely be a long and expansive open-world RPG, with plenty of side-quests and the rest of the works to make the world feel alive.
Although not mentioned in the cinematic and gameplay teaser available on the official PlayStation YouTube channel, the game will have a mechanic that hasn't featured in series —a 30-day time limit.
