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

Gamers have been buzzing about *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, drawing parallels to *The Witcher 4* due to the striking similarities in ambiance and style. This project, crafted by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) team members, has caught the community's eye, especially after the release of its first trailer. Discussions have been rampant, with fans speculating on which game might outshine the other. However, both the developers and their former colleagues at CDPR believe these comparisons are unwarranted.

An X user voiced a sentiment that resonated with many, stating, “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.” This perspective underscores the belief that both projects can thrive without being pitted against each other.

Patrick K. Mills, a veteran from *The Witcher 3* and *Cyberpunk 2077* mission teams, chimed in to dispel any notions of rivalry. He stated, “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.” His comments highlight the camaraderie and mutual respect that exist between the teams.

Philippe Weber, the narrative director for *The Witcher 4*, added to the conversation by acknowledging visual similarities between the trailers of the two games. He noted, “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!” This light-hearted revelation further illustrates the friendly ties and shared creative influences among the developers.

Rebel Wolves, the studio behind *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, has set a bold goal to establish a new series of games that can stand toe-to-toe with established franchises. From what fans have seen in the initial trailer, *The Blood of Dawnwalker* appears to be on track to become a project as impressive as CDPR's renowned works.
