addedDear Kickstarter backers and owners of Woolfe – The Red Hood DiariesIn 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.
changedWhy did Rebellion buy Woolfe?Aside from developing our own IP, Rebellion occasionally acquires unique and exciting projects from other developers, and we like to think we have one of the most diverse games portfolios out there. Interestingly, our book imprints have published quite a few dark and twisted retellings of classic tales, and so Woolfe’s gorgeous, twisted take on Red Riding Hood immediately caught our interest when we heard it was up for sale. But aside from our experience of self-publishing games on Steam for PC, we dug a little further and discovered many of Woolfe’s Kickstarter backers had still not received their rewards. With our connections to merchandise companies, book printers and the like, we realised we’d also be better placed than most companies to step in and provide backers with their rewards.
addedWill 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:

So who are Rebellion?
For those who don’t know us, we’re an independent games studio with headquarters based in Oxford, in the UK. We’ve been around for 23 years and we’re probably best known for the Sniper Elite series (which has just turned 10 years old!), Zombie Army Trilogy, Rogue Trooper and of course the seminal Aliens vs Predator games.
Why did Rebellion buy Woolfe?
Aside from developing our own IP, Rebellion occasionally acquires unique and exciting projects from other developers, and we like to think we have one of the most diverse games portfolios out there. Interestingly, our book imprints have published quite a few dark and twisted retellings of classic tales, and so Woolfe’s gorgeous, twisted take on Red Riding Hood immediately caught our interest when we heard it was up for sale. But aside from our experience of self-publishing games on Steam for PC, we dug a little further and discovered many of Woolfe’s Kickstarter backers had still not received their rewards. With our connections to merchandise companies, book printers and the like, we realised we’d also be better placed than most companies to step in and provide backers with their rewards.
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.
