Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries - Rebellion takes over

In Kickstarter update #31 for Woolfe is revealed that Rebellion is the new owner of the IP:

Welcome to the Rebellion family!

Dear Kickstarter backers and owners of Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries

In August, GRIN’s founder Wim Wouters wrote a brave and searingly honest statement about the sad closure of the studio and the end of Woolfe as they knew it. If you missed this, then we highly recommend you read Wim’s post before continuing. But in summary, GRIN was unable to continue as a business and had to apply for bankruptcy, and so Woolfe (and everything related to the game) was put up for sale at auction.

It has been a difficult time for those involved with Woolfe and for you, the backers, but today we’re writing to tell you that Woolfe is still alive, and now in the hands of a new owner, Rebellion – that’s us! We’re delighted to add Woolfe’s gorgeous, twisted universe to our burgeoning list of indie games and we hope you’ll join us for the ride.

You’re still probably wondering what this all means. Where does this leave backers? What’s the future of Woolfe? Who are Rebellion anyway? 

We’ve tried to answer all your questions below so please take time to read our responses if you can, and if you can’t find an answer to your question then feel free to get in touch with us at woolfe.support@rebellion.co.uk, or hit us up at @Rebellion on Twitter! 

Thank you for reading this, and we hope to meet you in the forums and on social media in the very near future. 

- Jason and Chris Kingsley, Co-founders and owners of Rebellion.

Will Kickstarter backers receive outstanding rewards? If so, when? 

That’s the plan! When we purchased Woolfe we were also given access to some of the unsent merchandise and backer rewards, both digital and physical.

We’ve still got to do a full stock-take of exactly what rewards we have, and which rewards we’ll have to produce ourselves, but for now it looks very likely we’ll be able to provide all outstanding physical add-on rewards at no further cost to backers. 

Here is a full list of the rewards we will be delivering to backers: 
  • Art book (digital and physical) 
  • Regular DVD copies of Woolfe 
  • Deluxe Boxed versions of Woolfe (including CD soundtrack) 
  • Poster packs 
  • Limited edition stickers 
  • Official documents of enlistment 
  • Original soundtrack (mp3) 
  • Ringtone (mp3) 
  • Wallpapers (HD JPG/PNG) 
  • Custom answering message (mp3)
Our aim is to deliver all these rewards to backers by the end of the year. Some items might take longer than others, and some may have to be changed from their original specification depending on the assets inherited from GRIN, but we’ll keep as close to original designs as practically possible.
