director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz says the game was made by a team that "love" RPGs He suggests artists need to set "ambitious goals" to create something unique in the saturated genre Tomaszkiewicz praises Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for doing something new in the genre The Blood of Dawnwalker is an ambitious open-world game made by a team that loves role-playing games
(RPGs), according to director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz; however, he suggests developers need to push the envelope to create unique experiences in the saturated genre.

Speaking to TechRadar Gaming about creating an ambitious game for Rebel Wolves' debut title, Tomaszkiewicz said that he "loves RPGs so much in my heart" that if someone told him to create a racing game or a shooter, he couldn't do it. "This is what I want to do, and so Ive gathered a team who share this love for RPG games," he said. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

"I think that we, as artists, need to set quite ambitious goals to create better things, to create a piece of art which is full of emotions. Without those goals, we are bored, and we stop creating."

Tomaszkiewicz explained that there are many RPGs in the genre that give players different experiences and "different emotions," and Rebel Wolves
isn't the first to try to create something unique or reinvent the wheel. You may like 'We said it's expensive as hell, but we thought it's worth it, because it's unique and different' The Blood of Dawnwalker director says the RPG's day and night system with its human and vampire gameplay loops is 'almost two different games' The Blood of Dawnwalker director says without previous experience from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077 'it wouldn't be possible to create a game like this' 'The world is living and
it's not waiting for you' The Blood of Dawnwalker director says the RPG's 30-day timer gives the story a 'sense of urgency' and 'emotional impact'

He remarked on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 , Sandfall Interactive's first
game that went on to make history by taking home nine awards at The Game Awards 2025, including Game of the Year , and how that game was also able to "take a genre and do it in a different and interesting way."

The director also touched on Dispatch , AdHoc Studio's superhero comedy that reopened the door to the episodic, choice-based narrative genre, calling it "something totally fresh", as well as the first two Fallout games, which impressed the masses with their narrative sandbox structure.

"The most important thing is to deliver something really unique and prove ourselves," Tomaszkiewicz added.

"It's really difficult and we iterate a lot. But, to be honest, the most important thing is to plan the story events to be close to each other, but on the other hand, to be far enough from each other so you have a fresh breadth between the activities you are doing.

"This is difficult, to be honest, really difficult, because only the first Fallout and the second Fallout have done something like this, with this narrative sandbox."

The Blood of Dawnwalker launches on September 3 for PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S , and PC.
