Gamers have taken notice of The Blood of Dawnwalker, a new game that draws striking comparisons to The Witcher 4. This project, crafted by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) staff members, showcases similar ambiance and style, fueling discussions and excitement among fans.
Following the release of the first trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker, fans have been buzzing with anticipation, speculating about which game might ultimately prove more successful. However, both the developers behind The Blood of Dawnwalker and their former colleagues at CDPR believe these comparisons are unwarranted. An X user summed up the sentiment perfectly:
"Dawnwalker looks amazing, just like The Witcher 4. Both works can coexist harmoniously. One game doesn't spell the end for the other. It's not a competition. Let's show respect."
Patrick K. Mills, who contributed to the missions in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, added his voice to the conversation, emphasizing the absence of rivalry between the teams:
"Anyone attempting to pit these games against each other is doing the devil's work. Our 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. While the culture war may persist, these games share a common origin and common values."
Philippe Weber, the narrative director for The Witcher 4, also pointed out the visual similarities between the trailers of the two games:
"Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and I were joking today about how we both used the eyes in the dark from our trailers as references to the TV series Midnight Mass to pitch our ideas early on. Many of the creators from both games are friends, and we love seeing our friends succeed!"
Rebel Wolves has set an ambitious goal to create a new game series that can stand toe-to-toe with established franchises. Based on the initial trailer, The Blood of Dawnwalker appears poised to be an equally impressive project as CDPR's acclaimed works.
