Rebel Wolves Staff Have Worked on Games like Cyberpunk 2077 and the Witcher Series

The employees at Rebel Wolves have experience in the video game industry. They’ve worked on games such as The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077. This makes sense when you realize it is made up of former CD Projekt RED employees. The studio’s director, Kondrad Tomaszkiewicz, was the director of the Witcher 3. He left the studio last year due to allegations of bullying. Rebel Wolves marks his return to the gaming industry. 

He told IGN,“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.” This game will be a fantasy game built on the Unreal Engine 5. His statement seems to hint at studios such as CD Projekt RED and fellow Polish developer Techland utilizing crunch to develop video games.
