Rebellion Have Acquired Woolfe IP From GRIN

Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries was successfully Kickstarted by Belgium based studio GRIN, but ran out of money before Kickstarter rewards were shipped. It didn’t help that the first volume of the story was met with critical reviews due to the many bugs. Aran checked out the game and gave it a rather poor 4/10, noting that it needed further development.

GRIN closed shop and went bankrupt two months ago and put the Woolfe IP up for sale, which has now been snapped up by Sniper Elite publishers Rebellion.

“We’re really keen to do the right thing by the Woolfe backers,” explained Jason Kingsley, Rebellion’s CEO and Creative Director.

“Just because we’ve joined the Woolfe project much further down the road doesn’t mean we shouldn’t respect the people who made it happen in the first place. If a backer hasn’t received the reward they pledged for, we’re going to do our best to get it to them, even if we have to make it ourselves.”

Rebellion have not revealed any further plans for the IP but I would suspect they are hard at work bug fixing and reworking the first chapter in readiness for a relaunch in the future.
