The Blood of Dawnwalker budget of $40 million mentioned by Eurogamer
Eurogamer reported on September 21, 2026 that Rebel Wolves’ The Blood of Dawnwalker has a $40 million budget, based on a Bloomberg interview.
- The report is based on a Bloomberg interview with Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, co-founder and game director of Rebel Wolves.
- Eurogamer compared the figure with The Witcher 3 and 007 First Light to illustrate the scale of the production.
What happened
Eurogamer published an article on September 21, 2026 stating that The Blood of Dawnwalker has a budget of $40 million. The site tied that figure to comments from Konrad Tomaszkiewicz in an interview with Bloomberg, where he is identified as co-founder and game director of Rebel Wolves.
In the same coverage, Eurogamer compared the amount with other major RPG productions. The Witcher 3 was cited with an estimated budget of $80 million, with the site noting that part of that may have gone toward marketing.
Eurogamer also mentioned 007 First Light as a comparison, with a reported budget of $200 million. Based on those figures, the site described The Blood of Dawnwalker as a production that looks smaller than a typical AAA blockbuster.
Based on the available sources, it remains unclear whether the stated amount refers only to development costs or to a broader total. It is also not confirmed whether Bloomberg used the exact same wording as Eurogamer’s summary.

Background
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a dark fantasy vampire RPG from Rebel Wolves. The budget report is being used to illustrate the scale of the production, not to confirm a release date, sales expectations, or technical specifications.
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz is relevant to the comparison because he previously worked at CD Projekt Red. That is why Eurogamer uses The Witcher 3 as a reference point for a large RPG production, although the article leaves open how much of the cited amount went to development versus marketing.
The mention of Tencent concerns Rebel Wolves’ ownership structure rather than the game itself. Based on the available information, it remains unclear which cost items are included in the reported budget.
