If that sounds a lot like <em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em>, Rebel Wolves is notably comprised of ex-Witcher developers.<\/p>\n<p>The Summer Game Fest trailer showed Coen&#8217;s initial infection \u2014 seemingly by Temu Knight King \u2014 followed by shots of Coen himself attacking regular humans. Gotta feed the beast.
