Witcher 4 Creators Support Blood of Dawnwalker Authors, No Competition with Rebel Wolves

Gamers have taken note of The Blood of Dawnwalker, sparking discussions and drawing parallels to The Witcher 4. The project's ambiance and style bear a striking resemblance to CD Projekt Red's work, which is no surprise given that it was crafted by former CDPR staff members.

Following the debut of the first trailer, fans eagerly debated which game might outshine the other. However, both the developers and their former colleagues argue that these comparisons are unwarranted. An X user expressed this sentiment, saying:

"Dawnwalker looks amazing, just like The Witcher 4. Both works can coexist. One game's success doesn't mean the other's failure. It's not a competition. Let's show respect."

Patrick K. Mills, a key figure in the mission design for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, chimed in to clarify that there's no rivalry between the teams:

"Anyone who attempts to pit these games against each other is doing the devil's work. The teams share a long history; we socialize together, play games together, and our group chats are filled with mutual admiration. There's nothing but love here. The culture war will stay a culture war, but these games share a common origin and common values."

Philippe Weber, the narrative director for The Witcher 4, highlighted a shared visual element in the trailers of both games:

"Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and I were joking today about how the eyes in the dark in our two trailers were inspired by the TV series Midnight Mass to sell the concept early on. Many creators of these games are friends, and we love seeing our friends succeed!"

Rebel Wolves has ambitiously set out to establish a new gaming series that can hold its own against renowned franchises. Judging by the initial trailer, The Blood of Dawnwalker appears poised to be as impactful as CDPR's acclaimed titles.
