Rebel Wolves has confirmed that The Blood of Dawnwalker will receive free DLC after launch, taking a page directly from the Witcher 3 playbook that many of the studio's developers helped write at CD Projekt RED.
The Witcher 3 post-launch support became something of an industry benchmark — CD Projekt RED dropped multiple waves of free content including new armor sets, quests, and a New Game+ mode in the months following release. Given that Rebel Wolves is largely staffed by veterans from that era at CDPR, the decision to mirror that approach for their debut game makes a lot of sense.
The studio is already thinking well beyond the first game too. A recent trailer all but announced that future entries in the series will jump to different historical time periods — an ambitious pitch for a developer that hasn't shipped anything yet. But free post-launch DLC suggests Rebel Wolves is serious about building long-term player investment in the world before any sequels arrive.
No specifics on what the DLC will actually contain or when it'll drop have been shared yet. More details will likely surface as the game gets closer to release.
