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

Bandai Namco Entertainment, the publisher behind the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, has announced a global publishing agreement with Rebel Wolves for their debut title, Dawnwalker. This ambitious action RPG, slated for release in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox, promises a captivating dark fantasy experience.

Rebel Wolves, a Polish studio comprised of key figures from the development of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is poised to deliver a AAA title set in a medieval European world. Expect further details about Dawnwalker in the coming months.

The partnership between Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves marks a significant step for both companies. Tomasz Tinc, Rebel Wolves' chief publishing officer, highlights the synergy between the two entities, emphasizing shared values and Bandai Namco's proven track record with narrative-driven RPGs. Alberto Gonzalez Lorca, Bandai Namco's VP of business development, views Dawnwalker as a key addition to their Western market strategy, anticipating a worldwide audience for the game.

Leading the charge at Rebel Wolves is Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, a veteran CD Projekt Red developer and lead quest designer on The Witcher 3, serving as creative director. Jakub Szamalek, co-founder and narrative director, brings over nine years of writing experience from CDPR to this new franchise. The game's scope is anticipated to be comparable to The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion, offering a non-linear narrative with impactful player choices and replayability.

Tomaszkiewicz emphasizes the team's commitment to creating an experience rich in choice and experimentation, promising a compelling journey for players. The upcoming reveals promise to further illuminate the vision for Dawnwalker and solidify its place as a highly anticipated title.
