Gamers have recently taken notice of *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, sparking comparisons to the eagerly anticipated *The Witcher 4*. This new project, crafted by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) staff, showcases an ambiance and style reminiscent of the iconic Witcher series. Following the debut of the first trailer, fans have been buzzing with discussions on which game might outshine the other. However, both the developers and their former colleagues believe such comparisons are unwarranted. An X user eloquently expressed this sentiment:
“Dawnwalker looks amazing, just like The Witcher 4. Both works can exist together. One game doesn't mean the other is dead. It's not a competition. Let's show respect.”
Patrick K. Mills, who contributed to missions in *The Witcher 3* and *Cyberpunk 2077*, joined the conversation, emphasizing the absence of rivalry between the teams:
“Anyone who tries to compare these games is doing the devil's work. The teams have a long history together, we hang out together, we play games together, our group chats are full of praise for each team. There's nothing but love here. The culture war will remain a culture war, but these games share a common origin and common values.”
Philippe Weber, the narrative director for *The Witcher 4*, also highlighted the visual similarities between the trailers of the two games. He shared a light-hearted moment with Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, saying:
“Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and I were joking today about how the eyes in the dark in our two trailers were used as references to the TV series *Midnight Mass* to sell the idea early on. Many of the creators of the two games are friends, and we love seeing our friends succeed!”
Rebel Wolves, the studio behind *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, has set an ambitious goal—to create a new series of games that can stand toe-to-toe with well-known franchises. Based on the first trailer, *The Blood of Dawnwalker* appears poised to be a project as impressive as CDPR's renowned works.
