CDPR's Triumph: Overcoming Narrative Challenges in The Witcher 3

Mar 25,2025 Author: Dylan

In a recent interview, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, the former lead quest designer of *The Witcher 3*, shed light on the initial reservations CD Projekt Red had about integrating a grand narrative into an open-world framework. The team was concerned that the ambitious storytelling, typically seen in linear RPGs like *The Witcher 2*, might not seamlessly blend with the open-world design of *The Witcher 3*. Despite these concerns, CDPR boldly moved forward, ultimately crafting one of the most acclaimed RPGs of all time.

"Few games have dared to attempt what we did: blending expansive storytelling techniques, usually reserved for linear RPGs with corridor-like structures, such as The Witcher 2, and adapting them to fit an open-world experience," Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz.

Now leading the team at Rebel Wolves, Tomaszkiewicz is working on *The Blood of Dawnwalker*. Set in an alternative medieval Eastern Europe with dark fantasy themes, this new game focuses on vampires. *The Blood of Dawnwalker* is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms. While an official release date remains undisclosed, fans can look forward to a gameplay reveal this summer.
