Dawnwalker sequel work starts less than a week after launch
When a game hits the market with the force of a storm, it’s rare. But The Blood of Dawnwalker has done just that. With over one million copies sold in a matter of days and a glowing 83% review score from PC Gamer, this vampiric horror RPG has firmly established itself as a major hit in the gaming world.
The phenomenal success has kicked off something even more exciting: the future of the franchise. Less than a week after its debut, developer Rebel Wolves is already looking beyond the current triumph, laying the groundwork for what comes next.
The vision for the sequel, which many fans are eagerly awaiting, is being shaped by the narrative director, Jakub Szamałek. Szamałek isn’t resting on his laurels; he’s immediately diving into the planning phase for the next chapter of the Dawnwalker saga.
To bring this ambitious vision to fruition, the team is seeking exceptional talent. Szamałek is currently searching for a lead writer to join him and the narrative team to craft the next installment. The criteria for this role are demanding: the ideal candidate must possess not only exceptional writing skills and a proven track record of excellence but also strong experience in team management.
The demands of the position are significant, involving everything from writing in-game documents and dialogue to collaborating closely with Szamałek and managing the entire writing team. Applicants will need a minimum of six years of experience as a writer or narrative designer in the video game industry, demonstrating outstanding achievement.
This quest for talent is made even more compelling by the pedigree of the studio. Rebel Wolves is not an unknown entity; it is helmed by veterans of the industry. Jakub Szamałek himself brings a deep history of development, having served as the principal writer on titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Thronebreaker, and the standalone release of Gwent, alongside writing credits on The Witcher 3 and its expansions.
The fact that numerous personnel from CD Projekt played a role in founding Rebel Wolves speaks volumes about the quality and pedigree of the creative minds behind the project. This blend of established industry experience and fresh, ambitious storytelling promises that the next chapter of The Blood of Dawnwalker will be as compelling as the first.
