CD Projekt RED is well known in the gaming industry, who are known for creating video games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. Some veterans who worked on these games parted ways from the Polish studio to form their own, the Rebel Wolves, in 2022.
The X (formerly Twitter) user Kurakasis recently shared that this new studio is working on a game called Dawnwalker: Origins. This upcoming project will be a story-driven RPG set in a dark fantasy universe. Moreover, the developers have recently registered two domains, which could be a hint for the studio to soon announce their game.
Impressive work of investigation!
If the game has just entered alpha phase, there’s at least another two years of development ahead based on the info provided.
So I wouldn’t except Rebel Wolves before 2026.

There is a lot of anticipation for the title as industry veterans are working on it. However, the game might not be released anytime soon, as Kurakasis claimed Dawnwalker is still in the alpha development stage. So, everyone expects the development might take two more years. According to Kurakasis, the Rebel Wolves co-founder Konrad Tomaszkiewicz aims for a 2025 release.
