Rebel Wolves acquires strategic investment from NetEase Games

Rebel Wolves, a Polish studio established by former CD Projekt RED developers in February, has secured a strategic investment from NetEase Games, which also acquired a minority stake in the studio, the company announced. Rebel Wolves will remain operationally independent and retain full creative control and ownership of its intellectual property.

“We’re delighted to welcome NetEase Games as our new shareholder and partner,” said Rebel Wolves co-founder, CEO, and game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz in a press release. “Having one of the leading global game companies get behind our vision is a great confidence boost and validation for the entire team at Rebel Wolves. Funding provided by NetEase was the last missing piece needed to go full throttle. With resources available to build a world-class AAA game, we can now focus on what matters most: development.”

NetEase Games president of global partnerships and investments Simon Zhu added, “It’s exceedingly rare to have the opportunity to work with an all-star team from the beginning of their journey. Everyone at NetEase Games has been an admirer of the Rebel Wolves team and their previous work. We quickly discovered our common passion for making great games and their long-term vision for creating a sustainable and creative studio aligns with our strategy of incubating talented creators who are passionate about gaming. We look forward to having a fruitful collaboration with Rebel Wolves and can’t wait to see how the team will leverage their extensive experience to create even more immersive games enjoyed by fans all over the world.”

Rebel Wolves is currently developing a dark fantasy RPG with a focus on storytelling and accomodating the player’s choices. It is actively recruiting for all development positions, supporting remote, on-site, and hybrid models. Visit the official website for vacancies.
