With Phantom Liberty now done and dusted, CD Projekt Red is keen to get cracking on some new projects. With that in-mind, it seems the studio is now looking to make some headway on the new Witcher saga.

CD Projekt Red veteran Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz has been appointed as creative director at Polish studio Rebel Wolves.
The Warsaw-based studio, which was co-founded in 2022 by The Witcher 3’s game and art directors, is currently working on a fantasy RPG for PC and new-gen consoles.
Tomaszkiewicz previously spent almost 13 years at CD Projekt, during which time he held roles including lead quest designer on The Witcher 3 and its expansions, and quest director on Cyberpunk 2077.
Prior to joining Rebel Wolves, he also spent two years working as principal narrative designer on Riot Games’ upcoming League of Legends MMO.
“There are so many fantastic RPGs out there today, however, I feel that there’s not only enough space but also a hunger among players for more captivating stories,” said Tomaszkiewicz.
“We aim to deliver an experience that will allow for a variety of choices and room for experimentation when replayed. Helping craft this experience with so many talented people will be my mission at Rebel Wolves, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what the team has been up to for quite a while now.”
The studio’s debut game is described as a triple-A dark fantasy title built with Unreal 5 engine, which is being planned as the first part of a saga.
Rebel Wolves said today that the project has entered the alpha stage of development and that it plans to share more details about the game later this year.

The next Cyberpunk game from CD Projekt - currently codenamed "Orion" - might have multiplayer in it, according to co-CEO Michal Nowakowski. Please let it be some kind of deckhead 'passenger-seat-driver' mode, where you get to play a crusty celeb uploaded to another character's brain implants, who strolls around the landscape as a hologram, offering gritty commentary on your Night City-based endeavours. Watch those corners, samurai! Hey, you missed an ammo pack. SAMURAI ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME.
With support for Cyberpunk 2077 having finally ended, CD Projekt RED is moving on to its next projects, and while it looks like The Witcher 4 will take precedence as it enters full production later this year, work on the next Cyberpunk game is also underway.
The Witcher 4 is set to enter its production phase during 2024, with plans for 400 developers to be working on the game by the summer.
is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.
Naughty Dog is known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to graphics.
The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology and The Lost Legends of Redwall: Feasts and Friends have been delayed once again to February 20, 2024.
Aspyr shared tons of new information regarding the Tomb Raider 1-2-3 Remastered collection, mostly about how the original games' gameplay and art have been revamped for the collection's release on February 14. The remastered Tomb Raider games will be available for purchase on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC.
The Last of Us Part 2 is still one of the best games ever made.
Rebel Wolves, the studio founded by a few of the CD Projekt folk behind The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, have officially titled their forthcoming dark fantasy RPG. That title is… Dawnwalker. They’ve also shared a new teaser image, which I think could depict one of two things: a) a vampiric or otherwise supernaturally-inclined hero flying through the air care of a Dishonored-style Blink teleport, sword raised and clawed fingers stretched towards an unseen foe against a blood-red backdrop. Or b) a man with his trousers aflame swinging through the window of a second floor spa while attempting to use his umbrella as a parachute, having received only half a pedicure before the building caught fire.
Developer Rebel Wolves has finally announced the official title of the game it has been working on. While no other details about the game have been revealed, we now know that it has been titled Dawnwalker, and we have some nice key art to look at.
The upcoming story-driven dark fantasy RPG from Rebel Wolves, a studio comprised of former CD Projekt RED developers and backed by NetEase Games, is officially titled Dawnwalker, the developer announced.
