Bandai Namco Partners with Rebel Wolves for Upcoming Dark Fantasy Action RPG, Dawnwalker

Rebel Wolves, a Polish studio founded by key figures behind The Witcher 3, has announced a publishing deal with Bandai Namco Entertainment for their debut title, Dawnwalker. This AAA action RPG, slated for a 2025 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox, will be published globally by Bandai Namco.

A Dark Fantasy Adventure Awaits

Set in a medieval European world infused with dark fantasy elements, Dawnwalker promises a mature, story-driven experience. Further details are expected in the coming months. The studio, established in 2022, aims to redefine the RPG genre with its narrative focus.

A Collaboration of Expertise

Tomasz Tinc, Rebel Wolves' chief publishing officer, expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting Bandai Namco's reputation for narrative-driven RPGs and their shared values. Alberto Gonzalez Lorca, Bandai Namco's VP of business development, described Dawnwalker as a significant addition to their portfolio, emphasizing its importance to their Western market strategy.

The Witcher 3 Legacy Continues

Leading the creative charge is Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, a CD Projekt Red veteran and lead quest designer on The Witcher 3. Co-founder and narrative director Jakub Szamalek, also a CDPR veteran, confirms Dawnwalker as a new IP with a scope comparable to The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion, promising a non-linear storyline.
