Former CD Projekt executive Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has unveiled a brand new studio, Rebel Wolves.
The team is made up of industry talent with experience spanning several titles, including The Witcher series, Cyberpunk 2077, Thronebreaker and Shadow Warrior 2.
Tomaszkiewicz spent 17 years at CD Projekt, most notably serving as game director on The Witcher 3, and head of production/secondary game director on Cyberpunk 2077.
Rebel Wolves is working on its debut game, which as Tomaszkiewicz tells GamesIndustry.biz, aims to become "the holy grail of computer RPGs."
"We're proud of our past achievements, but we're hungry for more," Tomaszkiewicz says. "We want to experiment, push the envelope, discover new ways for telling stories in the video game medium. We felt that starting a new company, where we call all the shots, will give us the freedom to take the necessary risks to fulfil these ambitions."
Tomaszkiewicz says that the team had been thinking about starting a new studio for a while, but felt as though they needed to fully establish its vision.
"What will our game try to achieve, what will set it apart? How will Rebel Wolves be different from other studios, what will make it a place people will want to work at?" He asks.
The studio has a simple philosophy; the team comes first. It wants to stay small and agile, as a place where "experienced game developers can reignite their passion."
"In order to create great games, you need to collect talented, motivated people, and give them the room to grow, experiment and think creatively," Tomaszkiewicz says.
