Following the releases of *The Witcher 3* and *Cyberpunk 2077*, not all of the experts at CD Projekt RED remained with the company. Some chose to embark on a new journey with *The Blood of Dawnwalker*. This new game was recently unveiled by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by a veteran from CD Projekt RED, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz shared his reasons for leaving CDPR and starting Rebel Wolves. He expressed a desire to explore new creative avenues with his friends, stating, "I wanted to do something different with my friends, so I started Rebel Wolves. Naturally, we have a strong interest in role-playing games and their history. [But] I believe that these RPG rules can be developed and expanded." He and his team came up with innovative ideas that they felt would be challenging to implement within a large corporation, especially when working with new intellectual property. Tomaszkiewicz noted, "Since it would be difficult to persuade any large corporation to change and do something novel, you know [to work with brand-new] intellectual property, we came to the realization that if we wanted to do them, we would need to open our own studio. Since we're working on some novel solutions, it's actually risky."

He also highlighted the advantages of working in a smaller studio, emphasizing the importance of direct communication and collaboration. "Unlike in large studios where it's more complicated, we work with people and between people [relationships] in our studio. A small team, in my opinion, is capable of more because there is communication among members and discussing the vision is simpler. Feeling the 'creative fire' and creating something unique is simpler."
