The Witcher 4 Team Supports Blood of Dawnwalker Creators

The Blood of Dawnwalker, a new game developed by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) staff, has sparked comparisons to The Witcher 4, due to stylistic similarities. Following the release of its debut trailer, online discussions erupted speculating which game would achieve greater success. However, developers and former colleagues from both teams have dismissed such comparisons as inappropriate.

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

Patrick K. Mills, a veteran who contributed to missions in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, added his perspective: "Anyone comparing these games is engaging in mischief. The teams share a long history of collaboration, camaraderie, and mutual support. Our group chats are filled with praise for each other's work. There's only mutual respect and admiration here. While cultural comparisons might persist, these games share a common heritage and values."

Philippe Weber, narrative director for The Witcher 4, also acknowledged the visual similarities between the trailers, explaining, "Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and I joked today about how the 'eyes in the dark' in both trailers were inspired by the Midnight Mass series, used early on to convey the game's vision. Many creators on both teams are friends, and we're thrilled to see our friends succeed!"

Rebel Wolves, the studio behind The Blood of Dawnwalker, has set an ambitious goal: to establish a new game franchise capable of rivaling established giants. Based on the initial trailer, The Blood of Dawnwalker shows strong potential to become a truly remarkable project, comparable to CDPR's acclaimed titles.
