Lead / Senior Tech Artist

---

Rebel Wolves is a new studio, but our team has years of experience working on some of the most critically acclaimed video games of all time. We co-created titles such as “The Witcher 3”, “Cyberpunk 2077”, and many others. We decided to create and run our own studio on our own terms. Chief among them: the team comes first, always. Happy people make great games – games players want and deserve. Yes, it’s as simple as that.
We’re industry veterans, but we’re hungry for more. We want to create amazing virtual worlds filled to the brim with powerful emotions and unique experiences. Most of all, we want to share our boundless passion for video games. We know what players love because we’re players ourselves.

We’re working on The Blood of Dawnwalker - AAA story-driven dark fantasy RPG for PCs and consoles in Unreal Engine 5. And we’re looking for you to join us!
