Rebel Wolves is a studio comprised of several instrumental members of the team that brought us The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a game considered by many to be one of the greatest video games of all time.

But Tomaszkiewicz isn’t the only member of the team that came from RPG royalty, as several other important members of the Witcher 3 development team, as well as former employees from studios like Techland,…

When Mixtape launched earlier this month, it looked like another stylish indie darling destined to quietly collect awards and emotional reactions from players. Instead, the latest game from Beethoven & Dinosaur and publisher Annapurna Interactive has exploded into one of the most talked-about — and controversial — releases of 2026.On the surface, Mixtape is a nostalgic coming-of-age adventure inspired by 90s teen culture, music videos, and classic films. But within days of release, discussions online shifted away from the game’s emotional storytelling and toward accusations of “fake indie” marketing, culture war debates, review score arguments, and complaints over its lack…

We recently announced our latest cover story as The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut title from Rebel Wolves, a studio co-founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who directed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077. We spent a full day in the Rebel Wolves’ studio in Warsaw, Poland, seeing an extended hands-off demo and speaking with key members of the development team.

When I was in high school, few games captivated me the way NBA Street Vol. 2 did. I loved the evolution from what NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime accomplished, bringing forward the gravity-defying, rim-rattling dunks and no-rules defensive play, and recontextualizing it through the then-current streetball craze. The result was a smash hit that bridged the gap between die-hard sports gamers and the wider mainstream audience. Both sides of that aisle ate it up. However, after Electronic Arts shuttered the EA Sports BIG label and companies like Midway went under, arcade-style sports games became fewer and further between. Enter Play by…
