Industry veteran Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, known for his work as lead quest designer on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and quest design director on Cyberpunk 2077, has taken on a new role as creative director at Rebel Wolves. The Polish studio, founded by former CD Projekt RED colleagues, is currently developing a story-driven dark fantasy RPG.

Tomaszkiewicz brings a wealth of experience to the team, having also worked on Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales as creative director. Creative Directors essentially make the story for the game world, and so he will shape the narrative and world of Rebel Wolves’ upcoming project.

He expressed his excitement about joining Rebel Wolves and collaborating with his former CD Projekt RED colleagues. They had made an amazing game with The Witcher 3, and a big part of that was questing. Tomaszkiewicz being one of the senior quest designers is a big deal. In a press release found by Gematsu, Tomaszkiewicz spoke about his excitement about joining the team.

“Throughout all my years in game development, story-driven role-playing adventures have always been something I was most passionate about. For me, nothing beats being able to fully immerse myself and discover handcrafted stories and worlds. 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. That’s why I’m very happy to join many of my old-time friends and meet many new ones at Rebel Wolves as a creative director. We aim to deliver the RPG we’d love to play ourselves.”

While specific details about the RPG remain under wraps, Rebel Wolves has teased their ambition to revolutionize the genre with innovative gameplay and impactful stories. Tomaszkiewicz’s appointment as creative director further strengthens their expertise and raises anticipation for the studio’s debut project.

The game is currently in development for PC and next-generation consoles, with a release date yet to be announced. Rebel Wolves plans to share more information about the project in the future.
