Rebel Wolves begins hiring a Lead Writer for the next chapter in The Blood of Dawnwalker saga following a massive 1-million-copy launch week.
Warsaw-based independent studio Rebel Wolves has officially begun narrative production on the next installment of The Blood of Dawnwalker. Founded by former The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and lead narrative designer Jakub Szamałek, the developer confirmed it is expanding its narrative team following an extraordinary debut. Published globally by Bandai Namco Entertainment, the dark fantasy action-RPG surpassed 1 million copies sold in fewer than three days after launching on September 3, 2026, across Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Why Is Rebel Wolves Hiring a Lead Writer for the Next Dawnwalker Chapter?
To support its expanding franchise ambitions, Narrative Director Jakub Szamałek announced that Rebel Wolves is searching for an experienced Lead Writer to join the team in Warsaw or work remotely.
- Key Job Responsibilities: Reporting directly to Szamałek, the new Lead Writer will manage a team of narrative designers, write core story dialogue, build cinematic cutscene scripts, and maintain world lore.
- Building a Multi-Entry Saga: Rebel Wolves envisioned The Blood of Dawnwalker as the foundation of a multi-game franchise. Szamałek noted that the broader universe is designed to span different historical eras, continents, and cultural settings.
- Narrative Scale: Candidates must possess a proven track record of managing writers on AAA choice-driven RPGs, reflecting the high story standards set by former The Witcher 3 veterans at the studio.
What Do We Know About the Setting and Story of the Next Dawnwalker Sequel?
While the initial game centered on Coen, a human-vampire hybrid (Vrakhir) hunting monsters across 14th-century medieval Europe, the studio has hinted at major thematic shifts for future entries.
- Temporal Leaps Across Centuries: Rebel Wolves previously teased that the Dawnwalker saga would explore different historical periods. Reports indicate future chapters may leap forward in time, potentially exploring modern or alternative historical settings.
- Protagonist Uncertainty: The studio has not confirmed whether Coen will return as the primary playable character or if the series will introduce new protagonists to anchor future entries.
- No Release Window Yet: Because narrative development is in its earliest stages, Rebel Wolves has not announced a title, platforms, or release date for the next chapter.
Players can jump into Coen's debut journey today on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
