Witcher 3 director and Cyberpunk 2077 veterans announce new studio and 'AAA dark fantasy' RPG

pcgamer.com:

Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of the Witcher 3 and producer / secondary director on Cyberpunk 2077, has today announced a new studio formed up of CD Projekt Red veterans: It's called Rebel Wolves. Based in Warsaw, Poland, the press release rather pointedly notes that Tomaszkiewicz «envisioned a new studio with a united goal of doing things differently while also putting the team first at all times.»

The press release really does go to town on the whole team angle. «Unified by the mission of putting the team first—ALWAYS—they believe that happy people create great games as they endeavor to revolutionize the RPG genre with their first project.»

I'm getting the sense that someone wasn't enormously impressed with how things ended up going on Cyberpunk 2077. That aside, Tomaszkiewicz will act as CEO and director of the studio's first game, which at the moment is unnamed and has the piece of concept art at the head of this article.

Other CDPR veterans joining the Rebel Wolves are design director Daniel Sadowski (The Witcher, Nitreal Games, Growing Up), narrative director Jakub Szamałek (Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Thronebreaker), animation director Tamara Zawada (Witcher 3, Shadow Warrior 2, Capcom Vancouver), art director Bartłomiej Gaweł (Witcher 1-3), CFO Michał Boryka, and Studio Head Robert Murzynowski.

“For all of us here at Rebel Wolves, video games were always something we felt destined to do—something ingrained in our DNA," says Tomaszkiewicz. «Personally, I couldn't be happier to have banded together with friends who share this passion. We’re developing a video game we'd like to play in a way that games should be made. We want to evolve the cRPG genre by creating unforgettable stories and stirring deep emotions, all
