In the other corner you have Hunt: Showdown, an extraction shooter that has…
In February 2022, a group of CD Projekt veterans headed up by Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz announced the launch of a new studio called Rebel Wolves and teased its first project with a bit of concept art that Rich Stanton said gave him “strong vampire vibes.” Today, two years later, the studio finally dropped…
