Rebel Wolves is looking for a Lead Writer to help craft the next chapter in The Blood of Dawnwalker saga. Narrative director Jakub Szamałek shared the opening in a LinkedIn post, saying he wants the new hire to work with him and the narrative team on what comes next.

The job listing describes a role that goes beyond writing dialogue. The new hire will create in-game documents and dialogue, work with the narrative director and other team leads, and manage the studio’s entire writers team. Applicants also need at least six years of experience as a writer or narrative designer in the video game industry, a record of outstanding achievement, and the ability to write exceptionally well.

The next project is already in pre-production, giving Rebel Wolves’ plans a firmer status than a staffing move alone. That does not confirm a direct sequel or amount to a full reveal. The studio has not announced a title, release window, platforms, setting, or story outline for the project.

Rebel Wolves was founded by veterans of CD Projekt, and Szamałek brings extensive experience from that studio. He previously worked as a principal writer on Cyberpunk 2077, Thronebreaker, and the standalone release of Gwent. He also earned writing credits on The Witcher 3 and its expansions.

The hiring move follows the studio’s debut RPG passing more than 1 million copies worldwide in three days. The Blood of Dawnwalker launched on PC on Sept. 2 and on consoles on Sept. 3, 2026. Rebel Wolves confirmed the milestone on Sept. 5 in an official post.

The first game leaves a possible path forward

Rebel Wolves has described The Blood of Dawnwalker as the beginning of a multi-game saga. During Summer Game Fest, CEO and game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz said, “When you have the last save, your choices will go with you,” while explaining that player decisions were planned to carry into later entries.

The ending of The Blood of Dawnwalker includes a modern-day scene in which Coen of Laslea is alive hundreds of years after the first game’s events and fights a powerful vampiric being. Rebel Wolves previously used the scene in a trailer that also teased a modern-day setting for Coen’s continuing story. It does not confirm the plot of the next chapter, but it gives the studio a story thread it could revisit.

For now, the pre-production update and the new writer search are the clearest details available about the project. Rebel Wolves has not announced when the next chapter will arrive or whether it will continue Coen’s story directly.
